The Week’s Forecast: What to Expect

The weather is going to keep us on our toes this week. Here’s a breakdown of what’s coming:

  • Thursday: Clouds will move in, and snow is expected to start falling in the evening. You could see 2–4 inches of accumulation overnight, with daytime highs around 31°F (-1°C) and lows dipping to 19°F (-7°C).
  • Friday: Snow showers might linger into the morning but should clear up by midday. It’ll warm up slightly, with highs near 38°F (3°C), but watch out for slick spots as temperatures drop to 28°F (-2°C) overnight.
  • Saturday: A mix of rain and snow is in the forecast, but any snow that sticks will be light. Highs will reach 38°F, and overnight lows will hover around 26°F (-4°C).
  • Sunday: Mostly cloudy skies and a chance of light snow. Highs will top out at 33°F (0°C), but nighttime temps will plummet to 13°F (-10°C).
  • Monday: This will be the coldest day yet. Highs will only reach 23°F (-5°C), and overnight lows will drop to a bone-chilling 2°F (-17°C).
  • Tuesday and Wednesday: The Arctic chill continues, with highs in the teens and overnight lows in the single digits. Expect clear skies, but don’t count on much warmth.

Why This Matters

This isn’t just your typical winter chill—it’s the kind of weather that can make life tricky if you’re not prepared. Snow and ice can make roads and sidewalks dangerous, and freezing temperatures can lead to frostbite, hypothermia, or even frozen pipes. Taking a few simple steps now can save you a lot of trouble later.

How to Get Ready

  1. Take out all your warm clothes and thick boots.
  2. With temperatures dropping this low, it’s best to stay indoors as much as possible. If you have to go out, bundle up and keep your time outside short.
  3. Check that your heating system is working properly and insulate any exposed pipes to avoid freezing. Stock up on essentials like groceries and extra blankets.
  4. Snow and ice can make driving tricky. Take it slow, leave extra space between you and other cars, and watch out for black ice.
  5. Cold weather can be especially tough on older adults or those living alone. A quick call or visit can make a big difference.
