- Briefly milder mid-month
Slow It Down…Freezing fog is creating slick travel in and around the city, itself, and points north. Please allow extra time to reach your destination this morning and take it slow. As we move into the afternoon, the low clouds and fog should slowly lift, but it’s likely not until we get to mid to late afternoon. With the longer period of fog and clouds, we’ve dropped forecast highs a few degrees today.
We should still get in on a sunny Tuesday before our first of a series of storm system begin to impact the area Wednesday. Weak low pressure will result in increasing clouds and a narrow band of showers Wednesday afternoon. Rain may mix with snow across north-central parts of the state.
As we look ahead, a slow moving (bigger) storm system spells periods of wet weather as we close the week and head into the weekend. While it won’t rain the entire time, periods of moderate to heavy rain are possible during the period, along with gusty winds, and an overall “raw” feel. Early thinking here is that we salvage the 2nd half of the weekend with at least a touch of sun.
