As the evening approaches and the day winds down, the weather plays a crucial role in our plans for tonight. Snow or rain can significantly impact how you prepare for the evening and the days to come. With a 100% chance of precipitation expected tonight, let's take a closer look at the forecast to help you navigate the changing weather conditions effectively.
Tonight's Weather: Snow Expected
Tonight marks the arrival of snow, especially before 1 AM. Temperatures are forecasted to fall to around 29°F, so if you have outdoor plans, make sure to bundle up. A south wind at 7 to 13 mph will add to the chill. The snow is expected to accumulate about one inch overnight, which may transform the landscape into a snowy wonderland.
While the snow can be beautiful, it can also create hazardous conditions for travel. Be cautious if you need to drive or go out as roads may become icy with the drop in temperature.
Sunday's Weather: Transition to Rain
As we move into Sunday, the weather will shift significantly. Expect rain before 8 AM, leading to intermittent showers until around 5 PM. The high temperature will reach near 42°F, accompanied by a west wind of 9 to 13 mph.
The chance of precipitation decreases to about 60%, with new rainfall amounts expected to be less than a tenth of an inch. This rain, although light, adds to the already wet conditions from the previous night's snow.
For those with outdoor activities planned, keep that umbrella handy. Light showers won't completely ruin your plans, but it's best to be prepared.
Sunday Night to Monday: Rain Continues
Sunday night will be mostly cloudy with temperatures around 32°F. Winds will calm after a blustery day, making for a quieter night. Rain will resume on Monday, with a high of about 42°F.
With a 100% chance of precipitation predicted for Monday, prepare for significant rainfall with total new amounts expected between a quarter and half an inch. The southeast wind of 6 to 9 mph will contribute to the damp chill in the air, making it feel even colder.
Midweek Weather: A Mix of Rain and Snow
As the week continues, the forecast becomes more complex. Tuesday will bring a 50% chance of rain with cloudy skies and a high of around 48°F. Keeping an eye on the changing weather will be wise.
On Tuesday night, expect rain to develop again, with temperatures cooling to about 36°F. The probability of precipitation increases to 90%, which suggests a wet evening ahead.
On Wednesday, we can anticipate rain at the start, transitioning to a mix of rain and snow by the afternoon. A high of approximately 42°F means that warm clothing will still be necessary, especially as we head into the later parts of the week when temperatures are expected to drop further.
Thursday: Snow Showers Are Likely
On Thursday, snow showers are likely after 1 PM, with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures peaking at around 31°F. With a 60% chance of precipitation, we could see a few more inches of snow accumulating throughout the day.
As Thursday night arrives, expect additional snow showers with temperatures plummeting to around 16°F. This could create icy conditions on Friday morning, so prioritize safety if you plan to travel.
Friday and Saturday: Clearing Skies
As we approach the weekend, Friday will bring partly sunny skies with temperatures around 32°F. After the previous week filled with rain and snow, it will feel refreshing to enjoy a break with clearer weather.
However, Friday night will see mostly cloudy conditions, with low temperatures dipping to about 20°F. By Saturday, expect partly sunny skies again, with highs reaching near 40°F. The weather will be dynamic, so staying updated is key, especially as winter conditions can change swiftly.
Final Thoughts: Prepare for Wet and Wintry Weather
As the snow begins to fall this evening, gear up for a week of varied weather. From snowy nights to rainy days, the upcoming forecast encourages preparedness for anyone heading outdoors. Ensure you have the right clothing, drive safely, and keep an eye on the weather updates.
Whether you enjoy the beauty of fresh snow or prefer a light rain shower, this week's forecast has something for everyone. Embrace the winter vibes, and prioritize safety as you navigate the mix of weather ahead. Remember, a bit of planning can turn even the rainiest days into enjoyable experiences.
Stay warm and dry!
