Monday’s temperatures will be in the lower 50s. We are expecting partly sunny skies in the morning, then becoming mostly cloudy by the afternoon. Southeast winds will range between 15 and 25 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph.

There’s a slight chance of rain and snow Monday evening, then that chance of rain and snow becomes very likely Monday night. Overnight temperatures will be around 30, with east winds around 15 to 20 mph. As of right now this system is taking a more southern track, but rain and, or, snow is favorable across all of the viewing area through Tuesday evening.

We have designated Tuesday as a First Alert Weather Day due to possible travel issues, beginning Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon, from accumulating snow especially in the northern and central parts of the viewing area.
