before that can happen though, a warm front has to usher in, that warmer air and ahead of it it's giving us enough moisture and enough lift to give us some snow showers. now it's light snow showers overnight tonight, but here is the system that's bringing in that warm front. this one heads mostly to the north of us and we just get that warm air coming in from the south and southwest. now taking a look at the temperature profile and time line with the snow showers overnight tonight, it takes until maybe 10:00 or 11:00 we start to pop snowflakes across the area but these bands of snow should be very quick movers. not expecting a whole lot of out of this and you will notice all of the time being we have milder air that is coming in from the south chewing away at snow flakes and really pushing them back farther to the northwest, rain for most of us by day break tomorrow. then we dry up for most of the day making it into around 50 degrees for our highs before possible low a spot shower later on tomorrow evening. so really the big headline for the weekend is the milder temperatures, less so the snow
