Weather changes can disrupt plans and affect daily routines, especially when rain and cold temperatures are involved. This weekend, the forecast calls for a mix of showers, thunderstorms, and even some snow showers, along with fluctuating temperatures. Understanding what to expect can help you prepare better and stay comfortable. Here’s a detailed look at the weather conditions from this evening through the middle of next week.
Evening and Night: Showers and Thunderstorms Arrive
This evening starts with a slight chance of showers, increasing to a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 5 p.m. Temperatures will reach a high near 64 degrees, with an east wind around 9 mph. The chance of precipitation is about 40%, so carrying an umbrella or raincoat is a good idea if you plan to be outdoors.
As night falls, the chance of showers and thunderstorms rises to 80%, with showers continuing after midnight. Temperatures will drop to around 47 degrees. Winds will shift to the southeast, blowing between 11 and 18 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Expect new precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch, which could lead to wet roads and slick surfaces.
Sunday: Persistent Showers and Cooler Temperatures
Sunday will be a wet day, with showers expected before noon and a slight chance of showers after 5 p.m. The high temperature will be near 54 degrees, noticeably cooler than Saturday evening. Winds will come from the west at 8 to 13 mph. The chance of precipitation remains high at 80%, with additional rainfall between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
This means outdoor activities may be limited, and travel could be slower due to wet conditions. Dressing in waterproof layers and planning indoor alternatives will help you stay comfortable.
Sunday Night: Transition to Snow Showers
As temperatures drop overnight, there is a chance of rain and snow showers before 5 a.m., followed by a chance of snow showers. The low will be around 32 degrees, just below freezing. Winds will continue from the west at about 11 mph. The chance of precipitation is 40%, with new snow accumulation of less than half an inch possible.
This transition signals the start of colder weather and the potential for slippery surfaces in the early morning hours.
Monday: Mixed Snow and Rain Showers with Cooler Highs
Monday will bring a mix of snow showers before 11 a.m., followed by a chance of rain and snow showers between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., then a slight chance of rain showers after 2 p.m. The high temperature will be near 44 degrees, significantly cooler than the weekend. Winds will remain steady from the west at around 10 mph. The chance of precipitation is 30%.
This day will feel chilly and damp, so layering clothing and preparing for variable conditions will be important. Snow showers may cause brief disruptions, especially in the morning.
Monday Night: Increasing Snow Showers
Monday night will see a slight chance of rain showers before 8 p.m., then a slight chance of rain and snow showers between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m., followed by snow showers likely after 11 p.m. The low will drop to around 28 degrees. The chance of precipitation is 60%, indicating a higher likelihood of snow accumulation overnight.
If you have plans late Monday or early Tuesday, be prepared for colder temperatures and snowy conditions that could affect travel.
Tuesday: Snow Showers and a Cold Day
Snow showers are likely mainly before 8 a.m. Tuesday, with a chance of lingering snow in the early morning. The day will be partly sunny, but the high temperature will only reach near 36 degrees. The chance of precipitation remains at 60%, so some wet or icy patches may persist.
Tuesday night will be mostly clear, with a low around 21 degrees, making it one of the coldest nights in the forecast period.
Midweek Outlook: Warming and Drying Trend
Wednesday looks brighter with sunny skies and a high near 50 degrees. This will be a welcome break from the wet and chilly weather earlier in the week. Wednesday night will be partly cloudy, with a low around 36 degrees.
Thursday will be partly sunny with a high near 62 degrees, signaling a return to milder temperatures. However, there is a 30% chance of showers Thursday night, with mostly cloudy skies and a low around 41 degrees.
Friday should be partly sunny with a high near 63 degrees, continuing the warming trend and offering more opportunities for outdoor activities.

Dress in layers to adapt to changing temperatures, especially as it gets colder Sunday night and Monday.
