Then for the evening, more widespread rain starts to arrive. Well pick up the rainfall coverage during the overnight. Some of that rain may be briefly heavy at times. The cold front comes in past 4 00 tomorrow morning when we transition to some wet snow showers early in the morning. Now, i dont think its a big problem for area roadways, not to say some slick spots on bridges and overpasses, maybe some visibility concerns at times with some of the more robust snow showers that come down. Most of this will be grassy surfaces, elevated surfaces, up to a slushy one inch of snow tomorrow morning. As we head past 8 00 and 9 00, we quiet down.

It will be windy through the day tomorrow as we usher in the cold air. Then the cold air sticks around next week. Highs in the 20s and 30s. Looks like tuesday, more snow showers.
