Snow flurries fell on this date in 1977 and again in 2020. The latest snow of the season.

Today will not be as warm as yesterday as a cold front has moved to our south. We should see an increase in clouds with showers likely developing by this evening.

A weak area of low pressure along the front to our south will give us mainly light rain on Friday and with the clouds, rain and onshore wind high temperatures will only be in the 50s.

This weekend it will continue to be cool with a good chance of showers Saturday night into Sunday as another weak low pressure moves through our area.

Milder next week but still another disturbance will give us a chance of showers Tuesday and Wednesday.
