Sunday's forecast calls for cloudy skies, a high of 32 degrees, and gusty south winds up to 20 mph. The NWS also predicts a chance of snow showers and freezing rain in the evening before 1 a.m.
The NWS further predicts subzero wind chills are on the horizon starting Monday night and extending into the deep cold of Wednesday night action from spotters is unlikely as dangerous weather conditions seem to lay low during this period.
Looking ahead at the weekdays, Monday through Friday, the NWS signals a mostly sunny disposition with high temperatures skimming the low 20s and tumbling to a low of about 4 degrees come Monday night, Tuesday's temperature takes a nosedive as the high is expected to hover around 13 degrees, before the mercury retreats to about -2 degrees beneath the starlit night sky. As the week rolls over its midsection, Wednesday strives to maintain mostly sunny weather, while the rest of the week plays a balancing act with temperatures gradually finding more warmth, culminating in a high near 35 degrees come Friday.
The NWS has issued a warning about a "quick-moving system" that could bring light snow showers and freezing drizzle on Sunday afternoon and evening, despite a generally low chance of precipitation in the coming days. Spotters are on standby, though no activation is expected.
