Brrrrrr....

* Meridian's temperature as of this writing has risen to a balmy 39 degrees. Make sure to bundle up if you are heading out for dinner or a walk around the block this evening, it will be quite chilly. A cold night is on tap, and readings area-wide will fall into the lower to middle 20's.

* Even colder weather is still ahead. Highs tomorrow will do well to even reach 40, despite a good supply of sunshine. The core of the cold will arrive tomorrow night, when temps plunge into the middle to upper teens...

* The cold weather will continue through the weekend. The models are suggesting highs Saturday and Sunday will reach the middle 50's, I think that is completely bogus. Given the upper-air pattern, I believe temperatures Saturday will again stay in the 40's. And, with a weak system passing through, we could see some light rain or light snow Saturday afternoon into Saturday evening. That's something we will monitor closely - it is worth noting that the Canadian computer model guidance shows an accumulating snow event for our area. For now, we will stick with showers or flurries, and continue to refine that forecast as we get a little closer to the weekend.

* Be sure to check out your latest forecast tonight at 5, 6, and 10 on Newscenter 11!

It doesn't snow here. I've been trying to get snow here for 5 years. I gave up last week.

The latest computer model guidance has really backed off on the possibility of accumulating snow...

But, we know in the weather business to never say never. So, we'll be watching...But, at this point, chances are between slim and none.
