AREA'S FORECAST CALLS FOR CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW THIS AFTERNOON

After last week's unseasonably warm temperatures, it more than felt like winter as weekend temperatures dipped to near freezing. And if forecasters are right, this afternoon it will look like winter.

There is a 30 percent chance of light snow developing this afternoon in time for rush hour, possibly mixing with light rain at the onset. The chance for light snow continues into the evening. The overnight low is expected to be in the lower 30s.

Tuesday should be mostly cloudy, blustery and cold with a high in the mid 30s.

Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be partly cloudy and breezy with highs both days in the upper 30s to mid-40s. by CNB
