Mild & breezy through Friday, then temperatures plummet

Posted
and last updated

Summary: Down-sloping winds scour out the cold air today and Friday, but be prepared, because the bottom will fall out for the weekend and the first half of next week. Short-term, lows tonight only falling off towards 30F will be followed up by breezy conditions Friday and highs mid and upper 50s. But Saturday, temps will be hard-pressed to get up and over 40F, and the cold really sets in at night and on through Tuesday of next week.

As for precipitation, I want to make you aware of the likelihood of freezing fog Saturday morning,and then, some accumulating snow Saturday night through midday Sunday. More than a broom, and perhaps for a shovel, and the liquid to snow ratios will be very high, so it will be a very dry, fluffy snow.
