significant as yesterday or friday. this just looks like scattered to wide-spread -- not wide-spread, excuse me, just scattered snow showers as we make it through the day tomorrow. can you see this forecast model starts to push them in for tomorrow afternoon and we could get some of those heavier squalls that set up, and where that happens we know that it can be very heavy blowing snow for a time and that can reduce visibility and also drop a quick inch or two, possibly up to three or four in isolated spots. slight chance tomorrow but them we have a thursday. once again for us on saturday morning as that arctic front moves in. teens, lower 20s for us, possibly a snow shower after minute but for the most part that waits until tomorrow. i didn't create a snow map because it's hard to pinpoint where we do see the snow. for some of us we don't even see any flakes. for us coating to one.

three inches possibly in localized areas but that's not very likely for very many people. highs tomorrow, mid 30s for us as we climb into the afternoon, so hoping to get just a little bit of melting done tomorrow, just a little bit. then you see how those temperatures slide when we make it into the weekend. the cold, here it is and it's going to be moving in for us saturday and sunday with sub zero lows and then we climb into the teens for the afternoon. so here's your valentine's day cuddle, stay inside kind of forecast as we make it into sunday. although we will see the sunshine. take a look at next tuesday. temperatures climbing into the 40s but we're also watching a potential storm. for now looks more wet than white. let's go out and get a check of those roads with joe stapleton. >>reporter: road conditions are fine. route 128 southbound right by throughout 3 a
