Cold Tues & Wed Followed By Warmer Thu & Fri; Shot of Arctice Air & Blowing Snow Fri Night & Sat; Warmer WX Quickly Returns Sun-Wed

<p>Starting today this week’s weather pattern becomes active with a series of fast-moving throughs and surface lows advancing over the Rockies and through the Plains. The first moves through today around daybreak and a second tomorrow afternoon.  These quick systems will bring colder temps, highs in the 30’s and lows in teens and single digits, breezy north winds and wind chills below zero, but no moisture is expected.   Thursday and Friday flow returns southwest warming temps back into the 40’s and 50’s ahead of a third larger trough and surface low Friday night and New Year’s Day with Arctic air dropping daytime temps in the 20’s and low’s near zero and some light blowing snow chances.    </p>
