Monday and Monday Night: Snow Chances and Chilly Winds

Monday starts with a chance of snow, mainly before 1 p.m. The sky will be mostly cloudy, and temperatures will hover near 32°F. Northwest winds will blow at 9 to 16 mph, creating a noticeable chill. Although there is a 40% chance of precipitation, little or no snow accumulation is expected, so travel should remain mostly safe with some caution.

By Monday night, snow showers may appear briefly before 3 a.m., but the chance drops to 20%. The temperature will fall to around 10°F, with wind chills near zero. Northwest winds will continue at about 10 mph, gusting up to 20 mph, increasing the cold’s bite. Dress warmly if you need to be outside late Monday or early Tuesday.

Tuesday and Tuesday Night: Colder Temperatures and Snow Likely

Tuesday will be mostly cloudy with a high near 21°F. Wind chills could drop to -2°F, so the cold will feel sharper than the thermometer reads. West winds will blow at 7 to 10 mph, adding to the chill. This is a good day to limit outdoor activities or bundle up well if you must go out.

Snow becomes more likely Tuesday night, starting after 1 a.m. The chance of precipitation rises to 70%. Temperatures will stay low, around 12°F, with calm winds shifting to the south at 5 to 9 mph in the evening. Snow accumulation may increase, so prepare for slippery roads and sidewalks.

Wednesday and Wednesday Night: Snow Changing to Rain

Snow will continue Wednesday morning before 10 a.m., then transition to rain as temperatures rise to near 39°F. The chance of precipitation is high at 80%, so expect wet conditions and possible slush on roads. This mix of snow and rain can create hazardous driving conditions, so allow extra travel time.

Wednesday night brings a 30% chance of snow before 1 a.m., with mostly cloudy skies and a low near 22°F. While the snow chance is lower, the cold will persist, so keep warm and monitor local weather updates.

Thursday and Thursday Night: Snow Chances Continue

Thursday will see a chance of snow after 1 p.m., with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 33°F. The chance of precipitation is 40%, so light snow or flurries may occur but with limited accumulation.

Thursday night also holds a 40% chance of snow, with temperatures dropping to around 20°F. The mostly cloudy night will be cold, so prepare for icy patches on roads and sidewalks by morning.

Friday and Friday Night: A Break with Partly Sunny Skies

Friday offers some relief with partly sunny skies and a high near 36°F. This is a good day to get outside and enjoy the clearer weather, but it will still be cool.

Friday night will be partly cloudy with a low near 23°F. While no snow is expected, the cold will return, so keep warm indoors.

Saturday and Saturday Night: Warmer Day with Snow Chance at Night

Saturday will be mostly sunny with a high near 45°F, the warmest day this week. This temperature rise may cause some snow to melt, but watch for refreezing in shaded areas.

Saturday night brings a 30% chance of snow with mostly cloudy skies and a low near 24°F. Snowfall may be light but enough to create slippery spots by morning.
