Much Cooler Midweek

A few flurries are leftover after last night's storm system. Breezy winds out of the west and northwest will get rid of the snow and bring in chilly air by this afternoon. Winds will gust upwards of 30 mph keeping highs today in the low to mid 20s.


Clearing skies overnight will drop lows into the single digits. Wind chill values will dip well below zero. Despite sunshine, highs tomorrow will only reach the mid 20s on Wednesday. A storm system moving in will increase cloud cover overnight Wednesday into Thursday. We'll build in a good chance of accumulating snow by Thursday afternoon. Right now, it looks like 2-5" inches of snow are possible in the north. A lot can change in the next few days so keep with WMBD 31 for more updates. As the center of low pressure moves north, warmer air will turn the snow into Freezing rain Thursday night into Friday. Friday morning's commute could be very slick. Highs by the end of the week will reach the mid 30s.


The weekend is looking dry, as sunshine warms us into the low 40s by Sunday. Another storm system will quickly build in on Monday though, bringing a chance of rain to start off the week. Chilly overnight temperatures could mix in some snow by Tuesday, but then we should dry things out by the middle of the week.
