There is an 85-100% chance for rain tonight through Saturday evening. Precipitation should start sometime between 8 and 11 PM tonight. Some snow may mix in along and east of Highway 63 between 1 and 8 AM Saturday, but no impacts are expected. Rainfall amounts of 0.25-0.75 inches are expected across the area.

Along with the cold rain, winds are expected to become breezy tonight through Saturday night. Gusts from 25-40 mph can be expected. The breezy winds will also contribute to single digit wind chills Sunday morning.

A Clipper-Type system will move through the area Monday into Monday night bringing the potential for some light snow (30-50% chance). There is still uncertainty in the areal extent and duration of any snow, but any accumulations will be light as there is a 70-90% chance for less than an inch of snow.

The 5 day forecast features cooler than normal temperatures to begin December, with precipitation chances Friday night through Saturday and again on Monday.
