  • 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.
