Quick clipper Tuesday brings light mix/snow showers


Following the potential for locally dense fog Monday morning, skies will remain mostly cloudy for much of Monday afternoon as temperatures only warm to the mid-30s. Still above average, just as it has been for the last several days. In fact, there hasn't been much of a temperature spread since early last week between daytime highs and nighttime lows thanks to the clouds and fog. That'll change by the end of the week when we see a few overnight lows dip into the 20s.


Winds will turn to the southwest Monday evening ahead of a cold front that'll slip across the western Great Lakes early Tuesday. This front is tied to an area of low pressure that'll move across Lake Michigan and into northern Indiana Tuesday evening. There isn't much moisture with the front, but colder temperatures moving in aloft will allow a light wintry mix to develop late Monday night. Surface temperatures above 32 degrees should limit any freezing rain potential, but there may some light freezing rain through early Tuesday.

As the colder air settles in Tuesday afternoon a few snow showers will be possible. While no accumulations are expected, a few bursts of heavier snow can't be ruled out during the afternoon and early evening. Temperatures Tuesday will warm into the middle 30s. We'll hang on to the cloud cover for the afternoon Wednesday with highs back in the upper 30s.
