FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS
Friday 2/23
Saturday 2/24
Sunday 2/25
Tonight and Tuesday: Last call for nice weather
Tonight will be cold and quiet, with clear skies and lows dropping into the single digits and lower teens.
Tuesday brings more sunshine, but temperatures dip again. Highs will struggle to reach the upper 20s to low 30s.
Wednesday: The party starts
Wednesday marks a noticeable shift. Skies turn mostly cloudy, and temperatures climb into the mid-40s, making it feel much warmer. However, that warmth comes with a catch.
By late afternoon, rain, sleet, and freezing rain move in together. Travel could become slick quickly after 3 p.m., making the evening commute challenging. Drivers are urged to allow extra time and use caution on the roads.
Thursday and Friday: Welcome to the deep freeze
Thursday brings another chance of a wintry mix along with colder air. Highs remain in the mid-40s, but overnight lows drop sharply into the low 20s.
Friday stays unsettled with clouds and another afternoon chance of wintry mix. Highs only reach the upper 30s as colder air firmly settles in, making outdoor plans unfavorable.
Saturday and Sunday: Snow time
Saturday introduces snow chances under mostly cloudy skies, with highs in the low 20s. This is when measurable snow could begin to accumulate. Both days are designated as First Alert Weather Days.
Sunday continues the snow threat with partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid-20s. Overnight lows fall to around 11 degrees, bringing bitter cold conditions. Anyone traveling or spending time outdoors should dress in layers and use caution.
Monday and beyond: Breathing room, sort of
By Monday, Jan. 26, the system finally moves out. Skies turn mostly sunny, with highs in the upper 20s.
Tuesday remains relatively quiet with partly cloudy skies and highs near 30 degrees.
Another snow chance appears Wednesday, Jan. 28, during the afternoon, with highs in the mid-20s.
