Tracking Wednesday morning flurries before a warmer and rainy start to the weekend

TODAY: Tuesday is partly cloudy, so expect a brighter day. Grab the coat, it will be notably cooler today, with temperatures starting in the 30s for many. Winds remain northerly around 10 degrees, keeping temperatures in the 30s, and feels like temperatures in the 20s for much of the day.

TONIGHT: Overnight, a shortwave disturbance enters the region, bringing a southerly wind shift around 9 p.m. which will only last through around sunrise. This will not bring warmth, but a chance for light flurries late tonight, lasting into early Wednesday.

EXTENDED: These flurries will be light and will not bring meaningful accumulations. Still, you may find light dustings to a few tenths of an inch at most in some grassy areas where the wind may collect it. Winds will be another impact with this system. As snow winds down around mid-morning, winds will pick up from the northwest. This sharp increase in wind will cool us into the 20s, and possibly not let us recover. It's possible that our high temperature of near freezing will come in the early morning. Wind chills will feel like teens in the afternoon, falling to single digits Wednesday night. Actual temperatures fall to the teens early Thursday, which will be a cold and bright day with partly cloudy skies and a high forecast in the upper 30s. Friday is warmer as we track an area of low pressure, who's warm front will bring warmth and showers by the afternoon. Depending on the track and speed, this could come as soon as morning, or as late as after the lunch hour. Either way, rain chances grow into the evening and overnight. This system will exit sometime Saturday, but timing there is even more uncertain. Highs reach 40s both Friday and Saturday, with temperatures above freezing through the event, so wintry weather looks unlikely at this point.
