Monday’s Weather

Today bright sunshine with a cold breeze making the high in the low 30s feel like the low 20s.

Weather Alerts

Rain Tuesday night into Wednesday morning will likely bring a rapid melting of the existing snow cover on the ground beneath that is still wet from prior storms in December. Flooding of city streets, small streams, and even along some major rivers is likely. In addition to the likelihood of heavy rain and flooding is the risk of damaging winds and power outages with winds gusting to 40 mph. Property owners and road crews may be able to help with flood control by keeping storm drains free from piles of snow during storm cleanup operations.
