(WCTV) &#8211; Sunshine will stick around on Friday, but our next weather system could bring rain showers and a **few** snowflakes mixed in by Sunday morning. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Tonight Through Friday Night <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">High pressure will control the forecast for the next 24 hours or so. As a result, we stay dry, clear and frigid. Be sure to protect your people, pets, plants and pipes. Lows tumble into the low-and-mid-20s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">After some very cold weather to start your Friday, we are tracking a nice rebound for the afternoon. We remain dry under plenty of sunshine. Highs climb into the mid-and-upper-50s. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Again, we are looking quiet for Friday night. However, clouds begin to increase ahead of our next weather system. Lows settle in the low-40s. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Weekend System<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Let\u2019s discuss the elephant in the room: our weekend weather system. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">On Saturday, we are looking partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Spotty rain showers are possible as temperatures climb into the mid-60s. We could see a few more showers for Saturday night, but temperatures remain above freezing. We bottom out in the upper-30s to low-40s. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">All eyes are on Sunday. Social media is buzzing with plenty of click-bait, so let\u2019s discuss the facts. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Cold air will continue filtering into the region by Sunday morning. With a little bit of leftover moisture, we could see a brief window of a wintry mix. However, it is important to keep in mind, air temperatures will be above freezing. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">BOTTOM LINE: Yes, we may see a few snowflakes or sleet pellets mixed into the cold rain Sunday morning, but we are not expecting impacts as temperatures remain in the mid-to-upper-30s. At this point, this is not looking like a repeat of January 2025. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">As always, the forecast can change, so stay updated with WCTV through the weekend as we bring you frequent updates without the hype train. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Behind This Sunday System<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">After some precipitation Sunday morning, we are drying out and clearing out for the afternoon and evening. Temperatures plummet into the mid-20s by Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">High pressure takes over for early next week, so we are looking dry, cold and mostly sunny. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Temperatures on Monday and Tuesday hover in the low-to-mid-50s. Overnight lows dip into the mid-and-upper-20s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">To stay updated on all the latest forecasts and weather, follow WCTV First Alert Weather on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\"> (<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to see all the latest weather headlines and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/radar\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/radar\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to view the First Alert Radar.
