Drivers should exercise caution, especially on the morning commute, as visibility may be reduced by sporadic snow showers.

The Weekend Outlook:

Following Saturday’s snowfall, temperatures will drop to the low teens Saturday night. Sunday brings a break from the rain with sunny skies, but don’t expect a warmup—highs will barely reach the upper 20s.

Looking ahead to next week, Monday and Tuesday will be largely sunny, with highs gradually rising into the low 40s.
