• Tuesday - Rain likely in the morning with a high in the upper 30s and should turn to snow as temperatures drop through the day with high winds. Snow not expected to accumulate more than an inch at this time. Low of 6.

• Wednesday - Sunny and breezy with a high in the teens and a low around zero.

• Thursday - Sunny with a high in the mid 20s and a low in the teens.
