As winter sets in, keeping an eye on the weather becomes crucial, especially for those planning outdoor activities. This week presents an exciting combination of snow and milder days. Let’s dive into tonight’s forecast and see what the rest of the week has in store.
Tonight's Forecast
Tonight is expected to bring a dynamic mix of rain and snow showers. Precipitation will likely occur before 11 PM, transitioning to additional snow showers afterward. If you're venturing out this evening, be prepared for patchy fog prior to 7 PM, which could reduce visibility significantly.
Temperatures will drop to around 28°F, so bundling up is essential. A steady west wind of 15 to 17 mph, with gusts reaching up to 30 mph, will make it feel even colder. With a 100% chance of precipitation, you should expect wet conditions. New snow accumulation will be minimal, likely less than an inch, but be cautious if you’re driving in slippery conditions.
Thursday: Snow Showers Likely
On Thursday, additional snow showers are expected primarily before 2 PM. The day will be dominated by clouds, with temperatures peaking around 29°F.
Prepare for a breezy day, as west winds will be blowing between 17 to 24 mph, with gusts possibly reaching 36 mph. There is a 60% chance of precipitation, and new snow accumulation may add about an inch to the existing layer. If outdoor activities are in your plans, it's essential to stay informed and dress warmly for the conditions.
Thursday Night to the Weekend
As Thursday night approaches, expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures dipping to around 15°F. The persistent west wind, ranging from 9 to 17 mph and gusting up to 28 mph, will continue to create a chill.
Friday offers a change, with mostly sunny skies and highs near 28°F. A lighter west wind will provide some relief from the cold. On Friday night, temperatures will drop again, reaching about 14°F.
Saturday brings mostly sunny conditions, with a higher temperature of around 33°F. Enjoy this break from cold weather, but be prepared for mostly cloudy skies Saturday night, causing the temperature to lower to about 23°F.
Sunday: A Chance of Showers
Sunday marks a shift in the weather as rain and snow showers are expected before 1 PM. The day is likely to be overcast, with a high around 40°F. With a 50% chance of precipitation, keeping an umbrella handy is a wise choice.
Sunday night will carry this chance of showers into the evening, with overnight temperatures hovering around 33°F. Cloudy conditions will persist into Monday, where there is also a 30% chance of showers and a high near 46°F, suggesting a potentially wet start to the week.
Monday Night to Tuesday
Moving into Monday night, the possibility of showers will continue, with nighttime temperatures remaining around 35°F. Expect a mostly cloudy evening as well.
Tuesday is expected to follow this trend, featuring a 50% chance of showers and high temperatures near 48°F. Once again, showers may linger into the evening, with temperatures falling to approximately 31°F.
Stay Warm and Prepared
To sum it up, this week’s weather forecast showcases a mix of winter weather conditions, from snow showers to milder temperatures. Staying informed will help you plan your activities wisely, be it enjoying the snow or preparing for rain.
Be careful out there, and make sure to dress warmly as you navigate the cold and possibly slippery conditions that winter brings. Always check for the latest weather updates, allowing you to embrace everything this season offers while minimizing surprises!
