7/10: A cold front interrupts an ideal weather day, but there should still be plenty of time to get outside.
Express forecast
Today: Increasing clouds. Breezy. Highs: Near 60. Tonight: Snow or rain/snow mix develops. Lows: Near 30 to low 30s. Tomorrow: Light snow ends, late-day clearing. Highs: Mid- to upper 30s.
Forecast in detail
If we hit 60 in the city today, it’ll be the fourth time in the first two weeks of the month. That’s something we have not experienced since Feb. 2009. It may be a consolation prize, given that a strong cold front is inbound. When the light snow is falling on Sunday morning, it might be a shock after this run of fake spring.
Today (Saturday): There should be a fair amount of sunshine in the morning, but clouds are generally on the increase through the day. Temperatures peak in the early afternoon most spots, then drift off through the 50s into the evening. Not as windy as Friday, but gusts are regularly around 20 mph. Confidence: Medium-High

Tonight: Precipitation is developing by late evening or toward midnight. It may start as a snow/rain mix, but it should change to snow relatively quickly. At least occasional light snow is a good bet through sunrise, with light accumulation possible, especially on grassy and elevated surfaces. Readings dip to freezing and below in the predawn for colder spots north and west. The city and some other warm spots may dip to about 32 or 33. Snowfall rates will be key to any notable accumulation. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Sunday): Snow is ending in the morning, earliest west and latest east. It should be totally out of here by midday, if not sooner. Accumulation of a coating to two inches seems likely in the storm’s wake, particularly on grassy surfaces. Skies clear as the snow ends. It may be that we see mostly sunny conditions by later in the afternoon. Temperatures claw back toward the mid- and upper 30s for highs. Winds are out of the north around 10 mph, with higher gusts. Confidence: Medium

Tomorrow night: With few clouds overhead and, potentially, fresh snow on the ground, temperatures should fall off quickly through the evening and into the night. Any remaining wet spots may become icy. Lows range from about 15 to 25 by dawn. Confidence: Medium
A look ahead
Still quite cold on Monday. Sunshine helps if you’re out and about, though. With highs in the low and mid-30s, winds around 10 mph, with higher gusts, make it feel more like 20s most of the day. Confidence: Medium
More sunshine is on tap for Tuesday. Temperatures start to rise, with readings heading for the balmy low and mid-40s. Confidence: Medium
Snow potential index
A daily assessment of the potential for at least 1 inch of snow in the next week, on a 0-10 scale.
5/10 (↑): Some light accumulation is a good bet Saturday night into early Sunday. With marginal temperatures, the difficult to pin down location and longevity of heavier bands will be key.
