We’re days away the first snowflakes of the season

Good Monday evening. I'm Chief Meteorologist Emily Walls. We had a gorgeous day today. Temperatures ended up tapping out in the 60s, but hopefully you had an opportunity to enjoy it. We have one more day tomorrow that's going to be gorgeous too. Lots of sun. Temps are going to be in the 60s, but take advantage because later this week we are talking about the first snowflakes of the season coming our way, especially Thursday night and then into your Friday as lake effect rain showers take place. But as we get some of that colder air moving in, Thursday night into early morning Friday, there's a chance that we could be seeing some snowflakes flying as well. For right now, things look fine. We're under clear skies, high pressure is in control, so no issues here. Futurecast taking us into tomorrow morning, waking up to sunny skies, lots of sunshine expected for your Tuesday. And temperatures are going to be very similar to what we had today, likely topping out in the low 60s. And then through the day on Wednesday, that's going to be our transition day. So we have a We have a low pressure system that's going to be moving through. And then we're going to see showers developing along with that low, specifically midday into the afternoon. I think that's going to be the highest likelihood of when we see those showers. And there's also a possibility that a few heavy downpours could develop, too, especially for those of you that are near and south of I-80 on Wednesday. And then here's Thursday. Notice the wind direction. We have northerly winds and with the colder air moving in over the relatively warmer waters of Lake Michigan. You know, that's the perfect scenario for lake effect showers to develop. So most of these are going to be in the form of rain. But mainly Thursday night into early Friday, there is a chance that we could be seeing some wet snow mixing in at times. Are we counting on accumulation? At this point, it doesn't appear so. But just don't be surprised if you see some snowflakes late this week. For tonight, 44 degrees for the overnight low. We'll have west-southwesterly winds, 5 to 10 miles per hour. 7-day forecast tomorrow, sunny skies. 62 will be at 58 degrees on Wednesday, so still above average. Average for this time of the year is a high temperature right around 51. A low temp right around 30. So we're above average for the next couple of days, but then falling below average by Thursday, Friday, when we have that chance of rain and snow. And then just in time for the weekend, things look really nice. We're going to be sunny on Saturday with a high of 46, so still cooler than average, but at least we'll have the sunshine. And then on Sunday, we're going to be partly cloudy. We'll have high temperatures reaching into the 50s by early next week.
