Tonight’s Snow and Cold Conditions

Snow will begin mainly after 3 a.m., with a calm wind and temperatures dropping to around 17 degrees Fahrenheit. The chance of precipitation is high at 80%, but total snow accumulation overnight is expected to be less than one inch. This means roads and sidewalks may become slick, especially early in the morning, so take care if you need to travel.

The calm wind will keep the cold air settled near the surface, making it feel even colder than the thermometer shows. Dressing in layers and protecting exposed skin will help you stay comfortable if you are outside during these hours.

Tuesday’s Snowfall and Temperature Rise

Tuesday brings a more significant snow event, with snow expected mainly before 3 p.m. After 4 p.m., there will still be a chance of snow showers. The high temperature will reach near 34 degrees Fahrenheit, which is slightly warmer but still cold enough to keep snow on the ground.

The chance of precipitation is 100%, and new snow accumulation could reach around 3 inches. This amount of snow can impact travel, school schedules, and outdoor activities. It’s a good idea to have snow removal equipment ready and to monitor local road conditions throughout the day.

The light east wind will not create much wind chill, but the snow itself will reduce visibility at times. If you plan to be outdoors, allow extra time for your commute and drive cautiously.

Tuesday Night’s Slight Snow Showers and Cooling Temperatures

After Tuesday, the snow will taper off, but there remains a slight chance of snow showers before 7 p.m. and again after 1 a.m. Tuesday night will be mostly cloudy, with temperatures dropping to around 18 degrees Fahrenheit. A northwest wind around 5 mph will bring a gentle chill.

The chance of precipitation drops to 20%, so any snow showers will be light and scattered. This night will be cold but not extreme, so prepare for a chilly night indoors.

Wednesday’s Partly Sunny Skies and Mild Afternoon Wind

Wednesday will offer a break from heavy snow with partly sunny skies and a high near 36 degrees Fahrenheit. The wind will be calm in the morning but will shift to southwest at around 6 mph in the afternoon.

This day is ideal for outdoor activities that don’t require snow cover, such as walking or running errands. The slightly warmer temperature may cause some snow to melt, especially on paved surfaces.

Wednesday Night Snow Showers Likely

Snow showers are likely after 1 a.m. Wednesday night, with mostly cloudy skies and a low near 24 degrees Fahrenheit. The south wind will pick up to 6 to 9 mph, which could increase the wind chill factor.

The chance of precipitation is 60%, so expect intermittent snow showers that may accumulate lightly. This could create slippery conditions on untreated surfaces by morning.

Thursday’s Snow Showers and Cold Highs

Thursday will continue the snowy pattern with snow showers mainly before 1 p.m. The high temperature will be near 33 degrees Fahrenheit, keeping the day cold and wintry.

The chance of precipitation is 80%, so snow showers will be frequent and could add to the snowpack. If you have outdoor plans, consider rescheduling or dressing warmly with waterproof gear.

Thursday night will be partly cloudy with a low around 5 degrees Fahrenheit, marking one of the coldest nights of the week. Make sure to protect plants, pets, and pipes from freezing temperatures.

Friday’s Mostly Sunny but Cold Day

Friday offers mostly sunny skies with a high near 27 degrees Fahrenheit. While the sun will be out, the temperature remains below freezing, so snow and ice will persist on roads and sidewalks.

Friday night will be mostly cloudy with a low around 16 degrees Fahrenheit. This continued cold will keep snow from melting significantly.

Weekend Snow Showers and Variable Temperatures

Saturday through Sunday will bring a chance of snow showers each day, with mostly cloudy skies. Highs will range from 33 to 36 degrees Fahrenheit, and lows will hover between 10 and 21 degrees.

• Saturday’s chance of snow showers is 30%

• Sunday’s chance of snow showers increases to 40%

• Nighttime snow chances remain around 30-40%

  
  

This weekend’s weather calls for readiness for light snow accumulation and cold conditions. Outdoor plans should be flexible, and driving conditions may be affected by snow showers.
