Weather can change quickly, and this week is a clear example. Starting with scattered snow showers early today, the forecast shows a steady rise in temperatures and an increasing chance of rain showers later in the week. Whether you’re planning outdoor activities or just want to stay prepared, understanding these shifts will help you make the most of the coming days.
Today’s Weather: Scattered Snow and Chilly Temperatures
Expect scattered snow showers mainly after 7 a.m., with a 40% chance of precipitation. The snow accumulation will be light, less than half an inch, so it’s unlikely to cause major disruptions but could make roads slick in some areas. The sky will be partly sunny, and the high temperature will reach near 40°F. Winds will come from the northwest at 7 to 13 mph, adding a crisp chill to the air.
If you plan to be outside this morning, dress warmly and be cautious on potentially slippery surfaces. The snow showers should taper off by midday, giving way to clearer skies.
Tonight: Clear Skies and Cooler Temperatures
Tonight will bring mostly clear skies with a low around 24°F. Winds will calm down, shifting to the west at about 6 mph before becoming calm later in the evening. This drop in temperature means it will feel quite cold overnight, so make sure to cover any sensitive plants or outdoor items that could be affected by frost.
Tuesday and Tuesday Night: Warmer with Increasing Clouds
Tuesday will be noticeably warmer, with a high near 52°F. Clouds will increase throughout the day, but winds will remain calm, shifting to the south at around 6 mph in the afternoon. This shift in wind direction often brings milder air, which explains the temperature rise.
Tuesday night brings a slight chance of showers before 2 a.m., with a 20% chance of precipitation. The sky will be mostly cloudy, and the low temperature will be around 41°F. Winds will stay steady from the south at about 7 mph. This mild night will feel quite different from the chilly one before.
Midweek Weather: Mild and Mostly Sunny
Wednesday looks pleasant with partly sunny skies and a high near 60°F. Winds will be light and variable but will settle from the west at about 6 mph in the morning. This day offers a good opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities without worrying about rain or snow.
Wednesday night will be mostly clear with a low around 38°F, so temperatures will dip but remain above freezing.
Thursday and Friday: Mostly Sunny and Warmer
Thursday will bring mostly sunny skies with a high near 62°F. This steady warming trend continues, making it feel more like spring than winter. Thursday night will be mostly cloudy with a low around 41°F, setting the stage for a mild night.
Friday will be mostly sunny again, with a high near 64°F. However, there is a 30% chance of showers after 2 a.m. Friday night will be partly cloudy with a low around 44°F. If you have plans for Friday evening, keep an eye on the weather in case showers develop.
Weekend Outlook: Showers and Mild Temperatures
Saturday has a 50% chance of showers, with partly sunny skies and a high near 64°F. The chance of rain means you should plan for some wet weather, especially if you’re outdoors. Saturday night continues with a 40% chance of showers and mostly cloudy skies, with a low around 43°F.
Sunday will also bring a 40% chance of showers, partly sunny skies, and a high near 61°F. This pattern suggests a wet but mild weekend, so having rain gear handy will be useful.
What This Means for You
Dress in layers to handle the temperature swings from the chilly low 20s to the mild 60s.
Prepare for slippery conditions early today due to light snow accumulation.
Keep rain gear ready for the weekend, as showers are likely.
Plan outdoor activities midweek, especially Wednesday and Thursday, when the weather looks most favorable.
Monitor local updates for any changes, especially if you have travel plans.
