The really good news I have, weather-wise, is that this arctic freeze is coming to an end: temperatures will climb to near freezing (32) on Monday 1/8, then upper 30s on Tuesday 1/9. Yes - pipes all over the area will thaw out, and I desperately hope they do so peacefully.
So. Cold tonight (Sunday 1/7) with a low of 9.
On Monday, we'll see temperatures rise to 28 or 29, so the concerns we originally had about mixed precipitation / icing will not be an issue. We'll see some periods of snow between about 1 and 6pm. It will accumulate only about 1/2 inch to an inch, but the snowfall could create some reduced visibility and slippery spots, so use caution during the PM commute.
I don't see any appreciable likelihood for this snow event to cause early dismissals Monday or delays Tuesday. #sorryteachersandstudents
Tuesday 1/9 will turn out mostly sunny with a high near 40, which will feel positively balmy compared with the past 10 days or so.
Wednesday 1/10 will be in the 30s and will feature times of clouds and sun.
Thursday 1/11 will bring precipitation, but temperatures will stay in the low to mid 40s, so expect just rain showers and drizzle (rather than anything frozen or wintrily problematic).
Yes, it's a word.
That rainy-drizzly dankness continues on Friday 1/12, when temperatures will mostly by in the mid to upper 40s, but may rise into the low 50s (!).
And then rainy and cooler for at least the first half of Saturday 1/13 with a high of 42 and a low in the upper 20s.
Thereafter: More like seasonal averages for the period from Sunday 1/14 through Wednesday 1/17, with highs in the 30s and lows in the upper teens to low 20s. And then expect temperatures to get milder after that.
The next chance of snow that I see (after Monday 1/8, of course)? Wednesday 1/24 - Thursday 1/25.
