Today, expect a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures reaching a high of 52 degrees. Winds will be calm in the morning before shifting to the south at around 5 mph in the afternoon. Tonight, skies will turn mostly cloudy with a low around 40, and a light south wind will shift to the west after midnight at 5 to 10 mph.
Tuesday will start off mostly cloudy but will clear up as the day progresses, with sunshine returning by the afternoon. High temperatures will be slightly cooler than today, topping out near 48. A northwest wind at 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph, will make it feel brisk. By Tuesday night, clouds will increase again, and temperatures will drop significantly to a low of 25 degrees, with a northwest wind at 5 to 10 mph.
Wednesday will remain cloudy, with a slight chance of snow developing in the afternoon. Highs will struggle to reach 36 degrees, with light north winds that become calm later in the day. The real weather shift arrives Wednesday night, as a wintry mix of rain, snow, and freezing rain is likely before transitioning to rain and snow overnight. Temperatures will drop to 28 degrees, and precipitation chances are high at 90%. New precipitation amounts are expected to be between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, which could lead to slick conditions, especially on untreated roads and sidewalks.
Compared to seasonal averages, today’s high of 52 is slightly above normal for this time of year, but temperatures will dip below average by midweek. The arrival of a wintry mix on Wednesday night is not uncommon for this time of year, though the freezing rain component may create travel concerns.
