Tonight, the skies will remain mostly clear, dipping to a cooler 27 degrees. If you're planning any late-night activities, a calm wind will come north at around 5 mph after midnight. The mellow weather continues into Friday with mostly sunny skies and a high of around 36 degrees, but then, a notable shift occurs. By Friday night, clouds start to gather, and we hover around the 25-degree mark, as per the National Weather Service.
Saturday brings in a 40 percent chance of snow, mainly after noon, and it's not just a flake or two – the cloudy skies will accompany a high near 36 degrees, with southeast winds of 10 to 15 mph that could gust up to 25 mph. The snow may linger into the night, with a 30 percent chance before midnight, under mostly cloudy skies with lows around 28.
Sunday starts with a mere possibility of snow before transitioning to a slight chance of rain between 9 am and 4 pm, then back to a slim chance of snow after 4 pm, "Partly sunny, with a high near 41," says the National Weather Service. As we head into early next week, the frosty embrace tightens – Monday's high is a chilly 17 degrees under more clouds, with Monday night dropping to a frigid low around 7. Wrap up and hunker down, because Tuesday might just deliver a 30 percent chance of snow with highs lingering near 19 degrees.
