Quick Burst of Snow/Mix N&W Late Tonight. Rain Elsewhere Into Sunday AM…

 

Synopsis:

Tonight and Sunday a storm will track well to our West (warm scenario). Rain will develop between midnight and 3am. North and West of the City a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain is likely (1st map above). A coating of snow and ice is possible in these areas. Please use caution on untreated surfaces.

On Sunday rain will continue in the morning. Well inland there will be pockets of freezing rain in the colder valleys. The rain looks to taper off by midday but clouds will hang tough through the afternoon.

Tranquil conditions are expected to the beginning of the workweek. Readings will be mild on Monday with temperatures dropping back to more seasonal readings for mid March through midweek as high pressure moves in.

Don’t forget we “Spring Ahead” tonight. The clocks turn ahead one hour at 2am Sunday morning as Daylight Saving Time begins. We lose an hour of sleep but gain an hour of daylight on the back end. Today’s sunset is at 5:56PM- tomorrow’s sunset is at 6:57PM…woot…woot! It’s also a good time to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
