Stratocumulus clouds will hang tough through the day while highs will range from the mid-to upper 30s, the NWS said. Tonight will have more increasing clouds with a chance of snow after 4 a.m. Lows will also be mainly in the lower 30s.

The NWS said at daybreak Tuesday, commuters could see a wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, snow and maybe some sleet. It called for a brief window of that through mid- morning. By noon, the mix will only contain rain and snow, and precipitation will end in the afternoon or early evening.

“Little accumulation is expected given the mix, but any ice or a slushy accumulation of snow would pose a hazard to commuters during this time,” the NWS said.

After overnight lows around 30, the high Tuesday will climb to the upper 30s.

Tuesday night brings a overcast skies. The low will fall around 34 degrees.
