Light Snow Monday to Make Way for Sunny Weather

Very little accumulation expected

After snow covered the ground on Saturday night, the start to this week looks to bring more frozen precipitation to our area, but not enough to stick to the roads or the grass. 

The National Weather Service is predicting a mix of rain and snow before 4 p.m. today before shifting to a frozen concoction of snow and sleet until around 5 p.m. The mixture is then expected to shift back to rain and snow heading into the evening hours and all rain at night. 

Today's high temperature will only be around 38 degrees according to the weather service and the low of 37 will not feel much cooler. The forecast for Tuesday calls for more showers early in the morning before the sun pushes through the clouds for a high near 48 degrees.
