Tracking a weekend winter system creating travel impacts

TONIGHT: I'm tracking increasing cloud cover with temperatures dropping into the low 20s by the end of the night. Winds will be out of the north at 5-7 mph.

TOMORROW: I'm tracking a cloudy day with a mix of freezing rain and snow entering from the west throughout the afternoon hours. This will become more widespread throughout the overnight hours, which is why an ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day has been issued for Saturday night.

EXTENDED: I'm tracking widespread snow and freezing rain chances throughout Sunday, which is why the ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day will last throughout Monday morning. Travel conditions will diminish throughout the day Sunday and impacts will last into Monday.

After this, arctic air takes over the area as afternoon high temperatures will only be in the mid teens throughout the majority of next week.
