Precipitation chances increase as we head into the late week, as we track our next potential weather-maker. With mild temperatures in the upper 30s and low 40s, rain is expected to be the main precipitation type of Thursday before changing over to all snow on Friday as temperatures drop into the upper 20s. It’s too early to determine the exact rain and snow amounts as the storm track could still shift. If you have any late-week travel plans, keep an eye on the forecast over the coming days.

Conditions are expected to become more quiet for the weekend with seasonably cool temperatures in the mid to upper 20s and mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies.
