The region will see a shift in the weather starting Sunday night, as high pressure breaks down and brings rain and snow to the area by the start of next week. While this weekend offers plenty of clear skies and warm temperatures, the area will return to more seasonable conditions within the next few days.

Why it matters

The sudden change in weather patterns is typical for this time of year in the region, as winter weather systems move in after a period of unseasonably warm and dry conditions. This can impact travel, outdoor activities, and air quality.

The details

Saturday will remain quiet and pleasant, with a mixture of sun and clouds and highs reaching the lower 50s. Sunday will stay abnormally dry and warm, with partly sunny conditions and a high near 53°, before increasing clouds Sunday night and a chance of rain after 11 p.m. Rain showers are likely for the start of Monday, with some snow mixing in later, favoring the higher terrain. No significant accumulation is expected.
