A Colorado Low is moving into the Midwest today, leading to a wet week with some uncertainties extending into Wednesday. The type of precipitation we receive will depend on the location of the low-pressure center.

The storm’s track and the speed at which rain changes to snow will greatly determine snowfall amounts across the region. Wednesday is likely to be quite chaotic. Will we see rain or snow? That shift is expected to take place during the early morning hours. Slick roads and gloomy conditions are definitely on the horizon, along with strong winds that may complicate travel.
On Thursday, sunshine is set to return, with temperatures hovering around 40 degrees. Similar weather is anticipated for Friday.
