| Tomorrow (Sunday): Clouds may linger into the morning. If they do, plan on them departing pretty quickly. We’re left with a mostly sunny day that is slightly milder and less windy than today. Every little bit helps. Temperatures may not get out of the 30s west and north of town in particular, with other locations rising to around 40. Confidence: Medium Tomorrow night: Winds are much calmer by this point, and with a cold air mass still in place, that means another hard freeze is on the way. Temperatures range from the upper teens to mid-20s once again. Confidence: Medium A LOOK AHEAD We should see rays of sun Monday morning, and perhaps into the midday. But clouds are on the increase with time. First they are thin and high level, but as we get through the afternoon they’ll lower and the sky takes on that fuzzy “pre-storm” look. Highs mostly reach the upper 30s to lower 40s. Light snow, or perhaps rain turning to snow, could enter the region by sunset or so, from south to north. Snow then overtakes the area heading into the night. At first it’s probably light to moderate, but it should start piling up readily. By late night, periods of heavy snow become a risk, and that lasts into sunrise while potentially mixing with some sleet and rain, especially near and east of I-95. Confidence: Medium There’s some question as to how long the winter storm lingers around here on Tuesday. It’s a decent bet that the brunt of it comes late night into Tuesday morning, and then anything the rest of the day is lighter by comparison. It could also end near or shortly after sunrise. Either way, plenty of “damage” is likely to be done as we rise. Delays and closures are certainly a risk if the storm comes together, as are plenty of downed tree limbs and even trees, thanks to a number having already started to green up. The thing about March, though, is melting gets underway quick — usually as soon as the snow stops. High temperatures rising to near 40, should get it started. Confidence: Medium We will have updates on the storm during the day. SNOW POTENTIAL INDEX
