After a warm and windy Friday, the weekend brings cooler weather and accumulating snowfall. Snow totals are expected to stay under 2 inches in most places. 
Friday stays warmer but also very windy, with gusts that could exceed 40 mph. That wind pattern also draws in enough moisture for areas of precipitation by the afternoon.

Despite a cooldown over the weekend, the trend will be higher than average temperatures into early March. Meanwhile, precipitation chances stay limited.
