First Snowflakes Soon to Fly

It will be all rain Tuesday evening and Tuesday night, but as colder air moves in by Wednesday night it's not out of the question that a few snowflakes could fly into Thursday morning.

Temperatures Tuesday night will remain mild as dew points values rise from the mid 40's from earlier Tuesday afternoon into the low 50's overnight.  This will keep overnight lows in the low 50's.  Highs Wednesday will be reached during the first half of the day ahead of a cold front.  Once the front passes, temperatures below freezing move in roughly 5,000ft above the surface of the earth.  It won't get that cold at the surface, but as moisture is pulled back around the front Wednesday night there is a small chance that a few flurries could mix with the light showers.

Highs Wednesday will reach the upper 50's before Noon, but when you head home during the late afternoon those numbers will have fallen into the low 50's.  Also, winds will greatly increase from the west during Wednesday evening, gusting 35-40 mph.

Thursday will be another blustery day under mostly cloudy skies.  Under the overcast sky, widely scattered showers can't be ruled out.  But mixed in with those showers could be a few flurries early & ice pellets later in the day.
