3-5" of Snow Tonight

A large low pressure system moving in from the southwest today and tomorrow will bring a good chance of accumulating snow to the area. Clouds will increase from the southwest today with highs in the upper 20s this afternoon.


Snow will begin to move northeast during the late afternoon and early evening. The heaviest of the snow fall is expected during the evening and early overnight hours. 3-5" of snow are possible across much of the area, slightly less in the southeast, more expected in the northwest.



Strong winds out of the east will limit visibilities and making driving dangerous.A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect tonight until noon tomorrow. Plan on staying off the roads late tonight and tomorrow if you can.

As the low pressure center moves north, slightly warmer air will mix in some freezing rain into Friday. The best chance for that will be in the south and southeast. Highs tomorrow will reach the mid 30s.


Saturday will be cooler, before sunshine and southerly winds warm us back into the upper 30s on Sunday. Another storm system will increase cloud cover on Monday. A chance of rain and snow will build in Monday night and stick around into Tuesday. Even though we'll dry things out by Thursday, temperatures will drop towards the end of next week.
