SUNDAY: This forecast hinges on the exact track of an upper-level low as well as an area of surface low pressure. Models have remained generally consistent on the idea of some degree of snow shower activity during the day Sunday, but they have varied significantly on position and totals. For now, the official forecast will call for scattered snow showers with limited accumulation potential and temperatures holding in the 30s. Stay tuned to future updates on this forecast.

MONDAY: Regardless of Sunday’s forecast evolution, temperatures will start in the 20s Monday morning and will only rebound into the 40s later in the day with sunshine.
