Monday and Monday Night: Calm and Clear Before the Cold Sets In

Monday starts off with a high near 19 degrees and mostly sunny skies. The north wind will be light, around 5 mph, and will calm down by morning. This makes for a relatively mild day compared to what’s coming next. As night falls, expect mostly clear skies and temperatures dropping to around 4 degrees. Winds will remain calm, providing a quiet and cold night.

This calm before the storm gives a good opportunity to prepare for the colder days ahead. Make sure to check heating systems and winterize your vehicle if you haven’t already.

Tuesday and Tuesday Night: Snow Showers Begin with Chilly Winds

Tuesday brings a chance of snow showers starting after 1 pm. The day will be partly sunny with a high near 30 degrees. Wind chill values could drop as low as -4, so dressing warmly is essential. South winds will pick up, blowing between 5 to 10 mph with gusts reaching 21 mph. There is a 40% chance of precipitation, and new snow accumulation of less than one inch is possible.

At night, snow showers will become more frequent, mainly after 1 am. Temperatures will fall to around 23 degrees with south winds increasing to 10 to 13 mph. The chance of precipitation rises to 80%, and again, less than an inch of new snow accumulation is expected.

This day will require caution for those traveling in the afternoon and evening. Roads may become slick, and visibility could reduce during snow showers.

Midweek Weather: Rain, Snow, and Strong Winds

Wednesday’s forecast shows a mix of rain and snow showers with a high near 39 degrees. South winds will be steady around 11 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph, making it feel colder than the temperature suggests. The chance of precipitation is 100%, so expect wet conditions throughout the day.

Wednesday night will continue with snow showers, possibly mixed with rain at first, but turning to all snow after 1 am. Temperatures will drop to around 23 degrees, and the chance of precipitation remains high at 90%.

This mix of rain and snow can create slippery conditions on roads and sidewalks. It’s a good idea to plan extra travel time and wear appropriate footwear.
