With precipitation and near freezing temperatures highlighting the forecast the next few days, many are wondering if we’ve got more winter precipitation heading to the Twin Lakes area this week.
KTLO, Classic Hits and the Boot News spoke with National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist Eric Greene to get the latest update on the forecast over the next few days. Greene says current models show temperatures remaining slightly warmer than the freezing threshold leading to cold rain coming down across most of the area.
Looking forward into the weekend we do see more chance for wintry precipitation passing through the Twin Lakes area. Stay tuned to KTLO, Classic Hits and the Boot to keep up-to-date on the forecast.

Eric Greene:
So trends overall over the past few days have kind of continued to stay consistent in terms of what type of temperature we’ll be seeing at the surface in the area, and that’s mainly been one that can be extremely problematic for what type of precip you’ll actually end up seeing.
A lot of what we’ve been seeing in terms of trends of suggested temperatures kind of close to freezing, maybe just a few degrees above. And again, that can be the difference between whether you see some cold rain or potentially significant icing. As of now, again, basically, we are expecting temperatures to maybe hedge just to the warmer side of the freezing mark, which, in most cases, would promote mainly a cold rain for a good bit of the area.
Some elevated surfaces, you know, higher bridges or overpasses, or maybe your trees and power lines, depending on temperatures just get to that sweet spot, could see a little bit of glazing, a little bit of ice, but in terms of major accumulations or impacts to infrastructure, not expecting anything significant at this time with these two upcoming rounds of as of now, just relatively cold rain and cold precipitation across the area.
