Tuesday was mostly sunny with comfortable temperatures in the 20s and 30s. At least when there is no fresh snow, we can enjoy the sunshine.

Now on Wednesday morning, the temperature inversion continues with readings that are colder at the base and warmer up on the hill.

Wednesday and Thursday's weather will be similar with partly sunny skies and high clouds filtering the sunshine now and again. Temperatures on Wednesday will be in the 20s and 30s, and temperatures on Thursday will be the warmest of the week, rising into the 30s to low 40s.

Then we will see snow return on Friday around sunrise, with snow showers likely falling throughout the day on Friday and maybe lasting into Friday evening. Total snow accumulations will be light, just a couple of inches. It'll be nice to see snow back in the air, but Friday's flakes will fall short of a powder day. Dress warmly on Friday as temperatures will cool during the day and mostly be in the teens.

Looking farther ahead, we will see dry and sunny weather on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Then from around Wednesday, January 19, to Saturday, January 22, there will be chances for light snow at times, though the weather pattern will not favor significant snow unless we get really, really lucky with a storm that goes against what most weather forecast models are showing.

Thanks for reading and please check back each morning for daily updates!
