Continued Rain

Rain will continue through the overnight period with gradual warming. Rain lingers into Thursday as a cold front approaches from the west.

By late Thursday morning or early afternoon, rain transitions to flurries or snow showers as temperatures fall from morning highs and flurries hang around through the afternoon. Friday, snow flurries continue for the early morning hours and will quickly wrap up by day-break. Outside of light accumulations for the highest elevations we're talking novelty level stuff elsewhere.

Forecast Discussion

Rain continues Wednesday night and into Thursday morning. By Thursday afternoon, rain will transition to snow showers as we will turn a bit colder due to the passing of a cold front. Friday, more cold air noses its way into our region causing the temperatures to drop back into the lower 30's for the high. On the bright side, thanks to the high pressure that moves in, both Friday and Saturday will be dry and cold.

Sunday, short-lived snow flurries make a return to the forecast in the afternoon due to an upper-level disturbance. Looking further ahead to Monday and Tuesday, cloud coverage starts to build Monday night as another cold front approaches. A late wintry mix is possible as we head from Monday night into Tuesday. Looking at Tuesday, we are forecasting snow as of now. However, please stay tuned as this forecast is likely to change.
