Colder Weather, Chance(s) of Rain/Snow Mix This Weekend

After a relatively uneventful week weather-wise, some colder weather with multiple chances of rain/snow mix or wet snow is ahead. Let’s take a look at the details.

Friday will be foggy in the morning, and sunny with highs in the mid-40s for the rest of the day.

Friday night/Saturday morning will be chilly with patchy fog. In some cases this will be freezing fog, which can be hazardous and produce dangerous black ice.

Below is the forecast low temperatures on Saturday morning (from the Euro model).


Expect lows of 26-28 degrees. Saturday will be foggy, then mostly sunny with highs of 40-45 degrees.

Saturday night into Sunday will bring a chance of rain/snow mix or brief wet snow, most likely above 500 feet and early Sunday morning.

There is a very small likelihood that any snow will accumulate. The most likely places for snow accumulations will be grassy surfaces above 500 feet. Snow will likely melt later in the day. 


As the UW forecast map for accumulated snow (above) shows, there is little or no accumulation in the lowlands through Monday morning. 

While snow may not accumulate, don’t be surprised to see some snowflakes falling this weekend!

Additional chances of rain/snow mix and snow are possible through the next week. I’ll have an update this weekend.
