Tonight’s Weather: Showers Before 3 a.m.

Tonight brings showers mainly before 3 a.m., with temperatures dropping to around 29 degrees. Winds start from the southeast at about 6 mph but will shift to the west after midnight. There is an 80% chance of precipitation, though the total rainfall is expected to be less than a tenth of an inch.

This early moisture sets the stage for the colder days ahead. If you’re heading out late tonight or early tomorrow, keep an umbrella handy and dress warmly to stay comfortable in the damp, chilly air.

Monday and Monday Night: Snow Showers Increase

Monday will be mostly cloudy with a high near 36 degrees. Snow showers could start after noon, with a 30% chance of precipitation. Winds will be from the west at 6 to 9 mph, bringing a crisp chill to the air.

Monday night sees a significant increase in snow showers, with a 90% chance of precipitation. Temperatures will drop to around 24 degrees, and new snow accumulation could reach about 2 inches. West winds will pick up slightly, blowing at 7 to 9 mph.

This means Monday night could bring slippery roads and reduced visibility. If you need to travel, plan ahead and allow extra time for safe driving.

Veterans Day: Strong Winds and Snow Showers

Veterans Day will continue the trend of snow showers with a high near 37 degrees. Winds will be stronger, ranging from 13 to 17 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph. The chance of precipitation remains high at 90%.

The combination of snow and gusty winds could create blowing snow and reduced visibility. Outdoor activities may be challenging, so dress in layers and secure any loose items outside your home.
