Northwest winds will persist into the early afternoon before becoming light and variable later in the day. By the early evening, a light southeast wind will develop.

This evening will be cloudy with southeast winds slowly picking up some speed. No precipitation is expected before midnight.
Temperatures will drop to the mid 20s this evening, then mainly hold steady overnight.
Widespread snow will move in during the first half of the overnight and become steady well before dawn.
The snow will be light to moderate and will continue through the morning commute and much of the morning hours. The snow will taper from west to east around midday, with some eastern areas seeing lingering snow showers well into the afternoon.
Snow amounts will generally be between 2-5 inches throughout the region. A few higher elevations in the east could see around or slightly over 6 inches.
Expect snowy road conditions throughout the morning hours tomorrow, especially for the morning commute. Allow for some extra time on the roads.

A few stray lake effect flurries will be possible Tuesday evening, but overnight, winds will swing back to the southwest, keeping the nighttime snow very minimal.
