Future Forecast
Timeline
Tomorrow warms up well into the 50s, but the downside will be very strong winds, especially from mid-morning through late afternoon. Gusts may exceed 40 mph and there will very likely be a wind advisory in effect for part if not all of our viewing area. Tomorrow night, there is a small chance of a wet snow shower as the cold front comes through.
On Saturday and Sunday, skies will be partly to mostly sunny, but it will be colder than it has been this week with highs around freezing on Saturday and in the upper 30s on Sunday.
Monday looks milder with a mixture of clouds and sun ahead of the next storm system, which will be chiefly a rainmaker here Tuesday into Wednesday. That time period will need to be closely monitored for the potential of thunderstorms and/or snow.
