Mixed precipitation for the morning commute may create for isolated slick spots on roadways
TUESDAY: Clouds stick around this morning with a mixed bag of precipitation possible. Some areas could see pockets of freezing drizzle as well as light snow showers. Ground temperatures are hovering the freezing mark this morning, so some areas may see some slick spots on the roads, especially elevated surfaces like bridges and overpasses. After 8 AM freezing drizzle should make more of a changeover to snow, with a dusting possible east of HWY 63. High temperatures will only make it to near freezing. A west breeze at 5-10 mph will make it feel like the low 20s in the afternoon.
TONIGHT: Clouds begin to clear out this evening as temperatures drop back below freezing into the mid 20s by morning. As low temperatures bottom out by morning a steady westerly breeze up to 8 mph will make it feel like the teens.
EXTENDED: Wednesday, we will wake up to more sunshine with temperatures rebounding to 40 degrees by the afternoon. This is behind a warm front with winds shifting out of the southwest. The sunshine and warming will be short-lived as our next cold front is quick to follow Thursday. This will bring snow chances for Wednesday night into Thursday morning, ushering in cold air behind it. Minor snow accumulation is possible Thursday with anywhere from a dusting to an inch and a half. Highs will reach the lower 30s Thursday early in the day but fall into the 20s by 6 PM and into the upper teens by early Friday morning. We’ll stay below freezing through early Sunday morning. A southern storm system will bring a chance of snow south of I-70 by late Saturday afternoon and Saturday night.
