As winter settles in, it's important to stay updated on the weather. This afternoon brings the promise of scattered flurries, with temperatures expected to reach around 30°F. Let's explore the forecast for today and the days ahead to help you prepare.
This Afternoon’s Forecast
This afternoon kicks off with scattered flurries expected before 2 PM and then again after 5 PM. The skies will remain largely cloudy, establishing a quintessential winter atmosphere. The temperature will hover around 30°F, feeling colder due to a northwest wind blowing at 15 to 17 mph.
When stepping outside, dress warmly. A good layering strategy includes a thermal base layer, a thick sweater, and a windproof jacket to combat the chill.
Tonight's Weather
Into the evening, scattered flurries will persist with a small chance of snow showers before 7 PM. Expect mostly cloudy skies and temperatures to drop to around 10°F.
As the wind eases from northwest at 5 to 7 mph to calm conditions after midnight, do take note of the 20% chance of precipitation tonight. While significant snowfall is not anticipated, the ongoing flurries will add to the enchanting winter landscape.
Looking Ahead: Wednesday
Wednesday morning arrives with partly sunny skies, but hold onto your hats, as it remains very cold. The high is expected to reach only 24°F. Thankfully, the winds will be calm, making the day slightly more bearable.
However, don’t let your guard down. Snow is expected after 1 AM, transitioning the evening from partly cloudy to mostly cloudy. With a significant 70% chance of snow, you might wake up to a fresh blanket of white covering the ground, likely accumulating less than half an inch.
Thursday's Mix of Snow and Rain
Moving into Thursday, prepare for a mix of snow and rain before 4 PM. The day’s high is forecasted to be around 41°F—warmer than usual for January due to a southeast wind of 10 to 14 mph. The 100% chance of precipitation suggests you'll want an umbrella, or you might find it cozy to watch the weather change from indoors.
This blend of rain and snow could create slick roads, so if you’re commuting during this time, be sure to drive cautiously and allow extra time for travel.
Weekend Outlook
As we approach the weekend, expect Friday to bring the possibility of snow showers along with brisk conditions. The skies will remain cloudy, with a high near 30°F and a 50% chance of precipitation.
On Saturday, expect more snow showers after 1 PM, maintaining the overcast skies with a high around 31°F. As temperatures drop during the evening, anticipate an 80% chance of snow before 1 AM, transitioning to a mix of snow and freezing rain later that night.
Sunday appears slightly milder with temperatures around 35°F but with ongoing chances of snow showers. Nighttime temperatures could fall to around 18°F, continuing the wintry pattern.
