The upcoming week brings a mix of rain, snow, and fluctuating temperatures that will affect daily plans and outdoor activities. Expect mostly cloudy skies, periods of precipitation, and notable temperature changes from chilly lows near 16°F to highs reaching the mid-60s. This forecast highlights the need to prepare for wet and cold conditions, especially during the weekend and early next week.
Weather Conditions Tonight through Friday Night
Tonight will be mostly cloudy with temperatures dropping to around 24°F. Winds will come from the west at 6 to 13 mph, creating a crisp and chilly atmosphere. This sets the stage for a wet and wintry Friday.
On Friday, rain and snow are likely before 5 p.m., with a 70% chance of precipitation. Temperatures will rise to near 41°F, but the mix of rain and snow may cause slippery roads and reduced visibility. Southeast winds will blow at 5 to 14 mph. Snow accumulation is expected to be less than one inch, but it could still impact morning commutes.
Friday night continues with rain, possibly mixed with snow, and a low near 29°F. Southwest winds will increase to 11 to 14 mph. The chance of precipitation rises to 80%, with new snow accumulation of less than half an inch possible. Drivers and pedestrians should remain cautious as conditions may worsen overnight.
Saturday and Saturday Night Weather
Saturday offers a slight chance of snow before 2 p.m., with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 35°F. Winds will shift to the west at 15 to 20 mph, with gusts reaching 30 mph, making it feel colder than the actual temperature. The 20% chance of precipitation means some areas might see light snow flurries, but significant accumulation is unlikely.
Saturday night will remain mostly cloudy, with temperatures dropping to around 22°F. The wind will calm down, but the chill will persist. This night will be cold and quiet, providing a brief break before Sunday’s weather changes.
Sunday through Monday Night: Rain and Snow Return
Sunday brings a 50% chance of snow before 2 p.m., with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 48°F. This warmer temperature may cause snow to melt quickly, but slippery patches could still form on untreated surfaces. The mix of snow and melting conditions calls for careful travel plans.
Sunday night has a 30% chance of rain after 2 a.m., with mostly cloudy skies and a low around 41°F. Breezy conditions will continue, making it feel cooler than the thermometer reads.
Monday will see rain mainly after 2 p.m., with a high near 65°F. This is the warmest day of the week, but the 90% chance of precipitation means heavy rain is likely. The rain and wind could lead to localized flooding and wet roads, so plan accordingly.
Monday night will bring rain, possibly mixed with snow before 2 a.m., and a low near 24°F. The 80% chance of precipitation means this transition from rain to snow could create icy conditions overnight.
Tuesday and Wednesday: Cooler and Drier
Tuesday will be partly sunny with a high near 31°F. This drop in temperature signals a return to colder weather after Monday’s warmth. The day should be mostly dry, providing a chance to clear away any remaining snow or rain.
Tuesday night will be mostly cloudy with a low around 16°F, the coldest night of the week. Prepare for frost and icy patches, especially on untreated surfaces.
Wednesday will also be partly sunny with a high near 31°F. The weather will remain cold but stable, offering a break from precipitation and strong winds.
