Wintry Mix Possible Tonight into Tomorrow Morning

It was another chilly day out there today!  Temperatures across the area topped out right around 40° under mostly cloudy skies.  Despite some stubborn clouds, we stayed dry today.  However, that may not be the case overnight tonight.

A weather system moving in from the southern plains will bring us a chance for some mixed precipitation tonight and into tomorrow morning.  Light precipitation will begin to fall shortly after midnight, and some may begin to freeze as temperatures fall close to 30° by the early morning hours.  The graphic below shows that we could possibly get more than a tenth of an inch of total precipitation in the next 24 hours.  However, if there is any wintry accumulation, it is expected to be very light.  It is possible that there could be a few slick spots on the roads for your morning commute, so drive with a little extra caution tomorrow morning.

 Looking ahead, high temperatures will remain close to 40° for the rest of this week and slowly increase into the low to mid 40s by the start of next week. We have another chance for rain and possibly a rain/snow mix Friday night into Saturday.

Forecast:

Tonight:  Mostly cloudy skies, a 50% chance of light wintry mix, lows near 30°, and light winds out of the NNW.

Tomorrow:  Mostly cloudy skies, a 50% chance of light AM wintry mix, highs near 38°, and light winds out of the north.

Tomorrow Night:  Mostly cloudy skies, lows near 28°, and light winds out of the north.

Thanks for reading, and have a great night!
