Tracking a mild Monday before more wintry weather this week
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Mild with lows in the upper 30s to low 40s.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds but still nice through most of the day. Highs in the low 60s.
EXTENDED: A slow moving cold front will approach the area on Monday from the north. This slowly slides across the region over the next few days, allowing temperatures to dramatically drop by Tuesday. Highs on Tuesday reach the upper 30s, and with multiple disturbances riding along the front, we can expect a few waves of precipitation between Tuesday and Wednesday. Showers are possible by Tuesday afternoon, especially for those south of I-70. As temperatures drop, there will be a brief window of opportunity for a change to freezing rain. Cold air really sets in by Tuesday night, setting us up for a final round of precipitation falling as snow into Wednesday. Snowfall accumulation is possible, but it's still unclear where the heaviest bands will set up during the day. Generally expect a dusting to 2" of snow through Wednesday night. Beyond Wednesday, we dry out but remain chilly with highs in the 30s through Friday. By the weekend, we get back into the 40s, but rain chances return by Sunday.
