Two separate winter weather events are likely in the coming days, before temperatures drop Friday (Dec 9th). There is a good chance that a winter storm with widespread impacts will take place sometime between December 9th and December 17th.

The first event arrives Sunday Evening, leaving Monday Morning. A clipper-like system will move through the region resulting in light rain and snow.
