What to Expect Today

The forecast is predicting that light snow will start to grace our area later this afternoon. With winter making itself known, residents should brace for some beautiful, albeit slippery, snowflakes! Can you believe it? Snow isn’t just for the mountains!

As we dive deeper into the day, keep an eye on the thermometer, as the high today is expected to reach around 34°F (1°C). That means most of the day will feel pretty darn cold, so don’t forget the hot cocoa and warm blankets when when this chill sets in!

Winter Weather Advisory in Effect

There’s a solid chance of accumulating snow later, with amounts anticipated to fall between 1-3 inches by this evening. Every winter wonderland needs its snow, right?

Now, while the snow can be fun, it also means that roads may get a bit tricky. Slippery conditions are possible, especially since we might see some early morning freezing rain. This means it’s a great day to exercise some caution while driving. Remember to keep your headlights on, drive slowly, and give yourself plenty of room between cars.

Prepare for Icy Conditions

28°F (-2°C). That’s right, a freezing night means icy patches could stick around longer than we’d like. When you step outside tomorrow morning, make sure to watch your step! Visibility might also be reduced due to the snowfall, making it even more important to be aware of your surroundings.

The Chance of Precipitation

70% chance of precipitation. That means those snowflakes and maybe even raindrops will be making their appearance throughout the day. So, while planning your indoor activities, consider busting out those favorite board games or maybe even a movie marathon to enjoy the snow from the comfort of your home!
