Saturday Afternoon and Evening: Clouds Give Way to Sunshine

Saturday starts mostly cloudy but will gradually clear up by afternoon. Temperatures will reach a high near 43 degrees Fahrenheit, with a northwest wind blowing at 8 to 10 miles per hour. This means the air will feel crisp but not too cold, perfect for a late afternoon walk or some fresh air.

As evening approaches, clouds will increase again, and temperatures will drop to around 28 degrees. Winds will calm down, creating a quiet, chilly night. This is a good time to bundle up if you’re heading out or to prepare your home for the cooler night ahead.

Sunday Brings Mixed Precipitation and Changing Winds

Sunday’s weather will be more active. Early in the morning, there is a slight chance of snow showers before 10 a.m. Between 10 a.m. and noon, expect a mix of rain and snow showers, shifting to mostly rain showers after noon. The high temperature will be near 44 degrees, with winds starting from the south at 5 to 7 miles per hour and shifting west in the afternoon.

The chance of precipitation is about 70%, but snow accumulation will be minimal or none. This means roads may be wet and slippery in spots, so caution is advised if you’re driving or walking outside.
