This round of wet weather is part of a larger system pushing across much of the country as the week ends, bringing another round of blizzards and snow to the Midwest and Northeast.
Following today’s stormy weather, MLK Holiday Weekend forecasts call for temperatures to remain in the upper 40s through the daytime, and down into the 20s at night. There are chances of rain for MLK Day in the afternoon, but then a potential for snow is coming to Paulding and the surrounding area on Monday night and bring with it frigid temps.
