The Quad Cities Is Likely To See More Snow Friday Night, Saturday Morning
The cold temperatures haven't been in the forecast as much lately, but snow chances are creeping back in. The Quad Cities will most likely see more snow accumulation Friday night into Saturday morning, but we most likely won't see the bulk of the snowfall.
It's wintertime in the Quad Cities and snow is on the ground. More snow is expected before Spring gets here, and another round of that snow is expected this weekend. Luckily, it isn't shaping up to a snowstorm as we got at the start of 2022.
Before we get to the snow that will most likely fall this weekend, we want to let you know that the National Weather Service of the Quad Cities (NWS) is predicting snowfall early tomorrow morning.
NWS officials say that another "clipper system" will bring the chance for light snow late tonight into Thursday morning. Some portions of the area may even see some wintry mix. Light snow accumulations may also produce a few slick spots for your Thursday morning commute.
Back to the snow we most likely will get Friday night and Saturday morning.
Officials from the National Weather Service of the Quad Cities accumulating snow appears to be likely for many areas Friday night into Saturday morning.
As of Wednesday, there is still a lot of uncertainty on the track of the storm and the amount of snow we will see, but officials say that currently, the potential for several inches of snow appears to be the greatest west of the Mississippi River.
If you have travel plans that are westward this weekend, we will keep you up to date on the snow as it approaches the Quad Cities.
