You do not want to let your guard down over these next few days despite the fact that a fair amount of dry time will be mixed in. After a quick snow shower chance this morning, the rest of the daylight hours will be dry until a period of light steadier snow moves in around 9 p.m. tonight.

Light snow accumulations of mostly under one inch are possible overnight, ending by around 4 a.m. Wednesday. This will be enough to make for a slippery start to Wednesday morning where snow showers occur. The most slippery areas will be north of I-84, but some will be around south of that line as well.

Midday Wednesday temperatures will warm up into the low 40s for most. Along with that though, there can be some gusty mixed off and on rain and snow showers in the afternoon and evening tomorrow. My only concern is that any Wednesday evening snow shower can be in the form of a snow squall, potentially leading to brief dangerous travel for a short time Wednesday evening.

Remember, a snow squall is a brief heavy snow shower paired with strong wind that can limit visibility and allow for a quick coating of snow.

Thursday will be nice, but cold. Friday will mostly be wet with a brief wintry mix changing to all rain with highs in the 40s.

Saturday will be a nice start to the weekend, but there is the chance for a period of light snow and / or mix developing on Sunday with minor accumulation not out of the question.

Have a great Tuesday!
