Snow is on track to move in Thursday evening, just after sunset. It continues overnight where it’s heaviest and should be done Friday before noon.
The Friday morning drive will see the biggest impact from this.
A solid 3-4 inches is expected areawide, with some spots seeing a touch more and some a touch less.
Quieter weather going forward
Long-range models are a bit back and forth on any precipitation chances after Friday.
Some runs squeeze out a few snow showers Sunday, some try Tuesday. But regardless, the impacts from anything that does happen will be minimal to none.
Staying cool
While there are some minor warm-ups in the next seven days, we don’t see numbers move a lot. There will be highs in the 30s and lows near 20 for the most part going forward.
Earliest ‘last measurable snow’
Sick of the snow? Relief is on the horizon. Looking back at our records, the earliest “last measurable snow of the season” anniversary is Friday (Feb. 25).
Back on Feb. 25, 1878, we picked up 0.2 inches, making it the last measurable snow of the season that year.
Normal high back to 40 degrees
Tuesday of next week (March 1), the normal high is back to 40 degrees.
