A cold but gradually brighter day is ahead as winter conditions hold firm across the region.
Friday Forecast: Cold With Increasing Sunshine
Friday will feel brisk from start to finish, with a noticeable chill in the air and a steady breeze adding to the cold. Morning clouds will linger early, but sunshine is expected to break through as the day goes on, helping to brighten the afternoon.
High temperatures will struggle to climb, staying mainly in the upper 20s to near 30 degrees. Despite the sunshine, it will still feel cold, especially in shaded areas and during the morning hours.
Friday Night: Cold and Quiet
Skies will turn partly cloudy Friday night, with temperatures dropping back into the teens and lower 20s. Winds will ease slightly, allowing the cold to settle in overnight. Roads should remain dry, but refreezing could be an issue where moisture is present.
Saturday: Partly Sunny and Chilly
Saturday continues the cold trend, with a mix of clouds and sun throughout the day. Afternoon highs will hover around 32 degrees, keeping conditions firmly winterlike. Outdoor plans are manageable with warm layers, but the chill will be noticeable all day.
Weekend Change: Light Snow Possible
A weak weather system is expected to move in late Saturday night and into early Sunday. This system could bring light snow, with accumulations generally around 1 inch or less. While widespread impacts are not expected, slick spots could develop on untreated roads, sidewalks, and bridges.
Sunday Outlook
Any lingering snow should taper off early Sunday, followed by mostly cloudy and cold conditions. Temperatures will remain below seasonal averages, reinforcing the winter pattern.
What to Know
