If you have plans or need to travel, now is the time to prepare for the wintry weather that is on its way.
Tonight's Forecast: A Snowy Evening Ahead
Tonight after 7pm, we're expecting impactful snowfall. As temperatures rise to about 31°F by 5am, the weather will shift from the colder air we’ve experienced in recent nights.
A southeast wind, blowing at 5 to 15 mph, will create patchy blowing snow after 4am, reducing visibility for anyone venturing out. We anticipate a total accumulation of about 3 inches of snow. While this may create a picturesque winter scene, it could also lead to challenging road conditions.
Wednesday's Predictions: Snow Showers and Breezy Conditions
On Wednesday, snowfall will continue. We can expect snow before 7am, followed by snow showers throughout the morning. This could create a beautiful winter wonderland, but commuters should be cautious of potential delays.
Temperatures will peak at 34°F early in the morning, then drop throughout the day, reaching around 25°F by evening. A west wind blowing at 16 to 22 mph, with gusts hitting 40 mph, will make outdoor activities challenging. With an additional forecast of 3 inches of snow accumulation, total snowfall could reach 6 inches by the end of Wednesday.
Wednesday Night: A Cool Down with Continued Snow
As Wednesday night arrives, expect more snow showers likely before 2am, with a chance of lingering flurries after 5am. The temperature will drop to around 12°F, making wind chills feel as low as zero.
A west wind at 9 to 17 mph, potentially gusting to 36 mph, could create hazardous conditions for anyone out late. By morning, an estimated 1 inch of snowfall could further complicate conditions. With a 60% chance of precipitation, the winter weather is here to stay for a while.
Thursday's Slight Break from Snow
Thursday will provide a brief respite from consistent snowfall. The forecast predicts partly sunny skies with temperatures climbing to around 34°F. It might feel like a nicer day, but be aware of light and variable winds shifting to a gentle 5 to 7 mph breeze.
However, as night falls, we could see a slight chance of snow showers from 1am to 4am, possibly transitioning to rain showers after 4am due to rising temperatures. Expect cloudy conditions and a low around 25°F, with a 20% chance of precipitation lingering.
