Weather can change plans quickly, especially when rain and snow are involved. This week brings a mix of showers, gusty winds, and snow showers that will affect daily routines and outdoor activities. Knowing what to expect helps you prepare your wardrobe, travel safely, and plan your week with confidence. Here’s a detailed look at the upcoming weather conditions and practical tips to stay comfortable and safe.
Midweek Weather: Showers and Windy Conditions
Wednesday starts with a chance of showers mainly between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The sky will stay mostly cloudy, and temperatures will reach a high near 40°F. Winds from the west will blow at 11 to 13 mph, with gusts up to 24 mph. Although the chance of precipitation is only 30%, expect light rain amounts less than a tenth of an inch.
By Wednesday night, clouds will linger but gradually give way to partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will drop to around 23°F, and winds will ease to 5 to 10 mph, becoming light and variable. This transition means a cooler, calmer night after the breezy day.
Thursday Brings Sunshine and Strong Winds
Thursday will be mostly sunny with a high near 46°F. The day will feel breezy as winds shift from east at 10 to 15 mph to south at 16 to 21 mph in the afternoon. Gusts could reach 33 mph, so secure any loose outdoor items and be cautious if you’re driving or cycling.
Thursday night brings a shift in weather with a chance of showers before 1 a.m., turning into rain after that. The low will be around 41°F. Winds will pick up again from the south at 20 to 23 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph. The chance of precipitation is 100%, so expect steady rain overnight.
Friday and Friday Night: Snow Showers and Blowing Snow
Friday’s weather will be more challenging. Snow showers are likely, possibly mixed with rain early in the day, turning to all snow after 4 p.m. The high will reach near 49°F, but the snow and wind will create areas of blowing snow later in the afternoon. The chance of precipitation is 90%, so expect slippery roads and reduced visibility.
Friday night continues with a chance of snow showers and blowing snow before 1 a.m. Temperatures will fall to around 21°F, and the sky will be mostly cloudy. Winds remain breezy, increasing the risk of drifting snow and difficult travel conditions. The chance of precipitation is 50%.
Weekend Outlook: Mixed Snow and Rain Showers
Saturday will be mostly cloudy with a high near 37°F. The cooler temperature means any precipitation could fall as snow or a mix of rain and snow. Saturday night holds a 50% chance of rain and snow showers, with lows around 28°F. This mix can create icy patches on roads and sidewalks.
Sunday continues with a chance of snow showers and mostly cloudy skies. The high will be near 36°F, with a 40% chance of precipitation. Sunday night will remain mostly cloudy with lows around 18°F, indicating a cold night ahead.
