Tonight’s Heavy Snow Showers

Temperatures will drop to around 26 degrees Fahrenheit, and the west wind will blow between 11 and 16 mph, with gusts reaching up to 26 mph. The chance of precipitation is 100%, so snow accumulation could reach approximately 7 inches by morning.

This heavy snowfall may cause slippery roads and reduced visibility, so plan to drive carefully or avoid travel if possible. Make sure to have snow removal tools ready and check on vulnerable neighbors or family members who might need assistance.

Saturday’s Snow Showers and Cooler Temperatures

By Saturday night, snow showers will taper off but remain possible before 7 p.m. After 1 a.m., snow showers are likely again. Temperatures will fall to about 25 degrees, with calm winds becoming southeast at 5 to 9 mph after midnight. Snow accumulation overnight will be less than half an inch.

Sunday’s Rain and Snow Mix

Sunday will bring a change in weather with rain, possibly mixed with snow showers, becoming all rain after 1 p.m. The high temperature will rise to near 41 degrees. Winds will shift to the south, blowing between 13 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. The chance of precipitation is 90%.

This mix of rain and snow can create slippery surfaces, especially in the morning when snow is still falling. Roads may become wet and icy in spots, so take extra caution when driving or walking.
