Snow Showers This Afternoon and Tonight

This afternoon, snow showers will mainly occur before 2 p.m., with a high temperature near 33°F. Winds will come from the southwest at about 10 mph, making it feel a bit chillier. The chance of precipitation is high at 90%, and while the snow accumulation will be light—less than one inch—it could still cause slick roads and reduced visibility.

Tonight, the snow showers will continue with a 50% chance of precipitation. The temperature will drop to around 13°F, with west winds at 8 mph. Expect new snow accumulation of less than half an inch. The cold temperatures combined with snow could lead to icy patches on roads and sidewalks, so take care if you need to be outside.

Snow Likely on Sunday and Sunday Night

Snow showers will likely continue on Sunday, mainly between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. The high will be near 22°F, with west winds shifting to northwest in the afternoon at 7 to 9 mph. The chance of precipitation is 60%, and new snow accumulation could reach up to an inch. This means travel could become more difficult as the day progresses.

Sunday night will bring more snow showers, mainly before 1 a.m., with a 70% chance of precipitation. Temperatures will dip to around 8°F, and wind chills could feel as low as -1°F. Northwest winds will blow at about 7 mph. Snow accumulation will remain under an inch, but the cold and snow combined will make for a very chilly night.

Monday’s Snow Showers and Cold Temperatures

Monday will continue the trend with snow showers likely throughout the day. The high temperature will be near 26°F, with west winds at 5 to 8 mph. The chance of precipitation remains at 70%, so expect persistent snow that could impact outdoor activities and travel.

Monday night will also see snow showers, mainly before 1 a.m., with a low around 15°F. The 70% chance of precipitation means the snow will likely continue into the night, adding to the accumulation from earlier days.

Slight Warm-Up and Mixed Conditions Tuesday Through Friday

Tuesday will bring a break from snow with partly sunny skies and a high near 30°F. However, the night will be mostly cloudy with a low around 21°F, so temperatures will remain cold.

Wednesday offers a chance of showers with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 40°F. The chance of precipitation is 30%, so some rain or snow showers are possible but less likely than earlier in the week.

Wednesday night will be mostly cloudy with a low around 25°F.

Thursday brings another chance of showers with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 45°F. The chance of precipitation rises to 50%, and Thursday night will see rain and snow showers with a low around 25°F and a 90% chance of precipitation. This mix of rain and snow could create slippery conditions on roads and sidewalks.

Friday will have a chance of snow showers with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 36°F. The chance of precipitation is 40%, so some snow showers may linger into the end of the week.
