Foggy Conditions and Cloudy Skies Today and Tonight

The day starts with areas of fog before 3pm, followed by patchy fog after 4pm. This means drivers and pedestrians should be cautious, especially during the early afternoon hours when visibility can drop suddenly. The sky will remain mostly cloudy, and temperatures will reach a high near 41°F. A gentle west wind blowing at 3 to 5 mph will keep the air moving but won’t significantly affect the chill factor.

Tonight, patchy fog will continue to linger, accompanied by mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures will dip to around 31°F, and winds will calm down, creating still conditions that can make fog even thicker in some spots. If you’re heading out late, be sure to use your headlights and drive carefully.

Midweek Snow and Rain Mix

Wednesday brings a significant change with rain and snow expected throughout the day. Patchy fog will be present before 9am, so the morning commute may be tricky. The high temperature will be near 36°F, with calm winds shifting to an east breeze around 6 mph in the afternoon. The chance of precipitation is 100%, so prepare for wet roads and slippery patches.

New snow accumulation is expected to be less than half an inch, but combined with rain, this can create slick surfaces. Wednesday night will see snow continuing, possibly mixed with rain and freezing rain early on, then turning to all snow after 10pm. Temperatures will fall to around 27°F, and the east wind will ease to calm after midnight. The chance of precipitation remains high at 80%, but little or no ice accumulation is expected, which is good news for safety.
