Today is chilly and dry to start, with snow showers developing in after 1 p.m. Afternoon temperatures will be in the mid 30s with winter driving conditions are expected between 3 and 9 p.m. with 1 to 2 inches of snow expected. Temperatures climb into the upper 30s overnight and snow showers will transition into steady rain.

Temperatures crash for Presidents Day and remain cold for most of next week. Monday is windy with highs in the mid 30s. Tuesday and Wednesday are in the 20s for afternoon highs.
We're watching another coastal storm for Thursday. Temperatures are cold enough for an all-snow event, but there is still uncertainty about how close the storm will be to the city. However, there is the potential for this to be the largest snowstorm of the season for our area. Stay tuned for the latest developments.
