Tracking a cooler and wet end to the weekend

TONIGHT: Showers that have been struggling to get rain to the ground in meaningful fashion are on their way out this evening. Drier and cooler air works in overnight. Temperatures fall from the 60s to the 50s shortly after sunset, landing in the low 30s by sunrise on Sunday.

TOMORROW: Sunday starts cool and dry, with highs only reaching the 40s. Still, this is warm enough to limit initial impacts as moisture works into the region in the afternoon. Some light showers will move in from the west after the noon hour. Some dry air will work against this initially, but rain chances increase with time. Temperatures fall in the evening into the 30s, and despite being above freezing, for many, melting snowflakes and potentially sleet. Given warm ground temperatures and the potential for air temperatures to remain near or even above freezing, widespread travel impacts may be avoided outside of slushy road conditions. Still, isolated areas of heavy precipitation could overcome these factors, leading to isolated accumulations up to two inches. It is possible that many avoid accumulations even in the north, where temperatures will be coolest. For all the details, read our ABC17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day Blog.

EXTENDED: Impacts will be greatest Monday morning, but not last long, with temperatures forecast to reach back into the mid-40s. The second half of the day looks dry on Monday, but rain works back in on Tuesday alongside warmer air. Daily rain chances and highs in the 60s are expected Tuesday through Friday. This could also mean thunderstorms, particularly on Tuesday and Wednesday.
