Winter is settling in with a mix of snow showers, chilly temperatures, and changing winds. If you live in or plan to visit the area this week, prepare for a variety of weather conditions that will affect your daily routine. From partly cloudy skies to snow showers and rain, the forecast calls for fluctuating temperatures and a chance of precipitation nearly every day. This post breaks down the upcoming weather so you can plan accordingly and stay safe.
What to Expect Overnight and Monday
Tonight will be partly cloudy with a low near 7 degrees Fahrenheit. A northwest wind will blow around 8 mph, making it feel a bit cooler. Monday brings a bright, sunny day with a high near 19 degrees. Winds will be light and variable, so it should feel calm and pleasant despite the cold.
Monday night will be mostly clear with temperatures dropping to around 4 degrees. Winds will calm down, providing a quiet, cold night. This is a good time to prepare your home and vehicles for colder weather, especially if you plan to be outdoors early Tuesday.
Tuesday’s Snow Showers and Wind Chill
Tuesday will bring a chance of snow showers after 1 pm. Expect partly sunny skies with a high near 30 degrees. However, wind chill values could drop as low as -4 degrees, so dress warmly if you plan to be outside. Winds will come from the south at 5 to 10 mph, with gusts reaching 21 mph. The chance of precipitation is 40%, and new snow accumulation of less than one inch is possible.
Tuesday night will see snow showers mainly after 1 am, with a low around 23 degrees. South winds will increase to 10 to 13 mph, and the chance of precipitation rises to 80%. This means roads and sidewalks could become slippery overnight, so take care if you are traveling.
Midweek Rain and Snow Mix
Wednesday’s weather will be wet, with rain possibly mixed with snow showers. The high will reach near 39 degrees, and precipitation is expected 100% of the day. This mix can create slushy conditions on roads and sidewalks, so be cautious when driving or walking.
Wednesday night will continue with rain and snow showers, turning to all snow after 10 pm. Temperatures will drop to around 23 degrees, and the chance of precipitation remains high at 90%. This transition to snow could lead to accumulation overnight, affecting morning commutes.

Preparing for the Week Ahead
With temperatures fluctuating between the single digits and upper 30s, and frequent chances of snow showers, it’s important to stay prepared:
Dress in layers to stay warm, especially on days with wind chill below zero.
Keep an emergency kit in your car with blankets, food, and water in case of delays.
Check road conditions before traveling, as snow and rain can create slippery surfaces.
Protect your home by insulating pipes and sealing windows to keep the cold out.
Plan outdoor activities for the warmer, sunnier parts of the day, like Monday afternoon.
