Unlike yesterday though where we started off cloudy and broke into some sunshine by the afternoon, today will feature the clouds hanging around for the day, if not increasing by the afternoon hours.

A few snow showers could move in as early as this evening but most of that will have to overcome dry air at the surface initially before the snow makes it to the surface.
