Grab the umbrella as you head out the door this morning. Widespread rain showers are draping the area as a warm front pushes through the region. However, there is a cold front chasing right behind it so this milder, spring-like snap won’t last long.
Warmer air sticks around today with highs around 50, but will be accompanied by rain through the first half of the day. The cold front will sweep the rain east by the lunch hour bringing drier, but cooler air into the area. Highs fall into the 30s by Wednesday. Lake effect snow showers are likely Tuesday night through Wednesday night, maybe even lingering into early Thursday. As of right now, snowfall totals look to range from a coating to around two inches with greater amounts north of I-69. We will be fine-tuning those amounts as we get closer.
Sunset is at 5:01 p.m.
Otherwise, much colder by Thursday as daytime temperatures struggle to reach the 20s and drop into the single digits Thursday night with wind chill near zero into Friday morning.
