Snow tapers off tonight, warmer tomorrow
Nov 21, 2024
Today's scattered snow is wrapping up and ending. While we have snow covered lawns in many spots, the snow is not accumulating as well on our roads, due to our high ground temperatures. However, drivers need to be on alert for some scattered slick spots, due to the wet pavement and the potential for ice to develop as temps fall below freezing. Bridges and overpasses will be the most likely locations for icy patches, since those roads do not touch the warmer ground.
Watch out for slick roads
Our nighttime temps fall from the low 30s to the upper 20s.
Without question, it's a cold November night across the region.
Some morning patches of ice are possible with these low temperatures slightly below freezing.
It'll become warm enough higher above us in the atmosphere for some rain showers starting to fall in the morning. If the showers start up when temps are below freezing, even with the higher pavement temps, we could have a brief period of scattered freezing rain. As a result, we'll be on alert for icy patches being possible on all roads, not just the bridges and overpasses.
Some morning rain is possible and it may lead to a few icy patches on the roads early, before temps start to rise well above freezing.
Friday afternoon will be warmer than today. Highs reach the mid-40s. Some scattered lake effect rain showers are possible as strong winds blow in from the NW, occasionally gusting up to 30 mph.
The day's rain chances exit by Friday night and temps will be in the low-to-mid-40s during our Friday night football games.
It will be dry for the weekend with highs in the mid-40s Saturday and the low 50s Sunday.
The warmest day in the forecast is Monday, but the above average warmth doesn't last long with another front moving through the area. Rain is possible Monday before high temperatures fall on Tuesday. Highs on Tuesday will be in the upper 30s, close to 40°.
Highs will continue to be near 40° Wednesday with some rain showers possible. On Thanksgiving, there's a continuing chance for a few raindrops and snowflakes to fall. Thanksgiving's high temp will be in the upper 30s.
Black Friday's high temps will be a few degrees lower, down in the mid-30s. Plan on layering up for Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping. High temps remain in the 30s for the Saturday and Sunday following Thanksgiving, too.
