Unsettled Tuesday, Sunshine Returns Wednesday

Cloudy skies with on and off showers are likely Tuesday morning before tapering off during the afternoon, highs in the mid 50s. Mountain and foothill communities will likely see a wintry mix early Tuesday before precipitation transitions to rain and tapers off Tuesday afternoon. Highest elevations could see up to 2 inches of snow with a light glaze of ice. Although this is not a lot of wintry precipitation, just a small amount could create slick conditions for the Tuesday morning commute. Showers will quickly taper off for all areas Tuesday afternoon with clear skies returning late in the day. Wednesday will be mostly sunny and cool with highs in the mid 50s, slightly above average. Temperatures will gradually warm for the remainder of the week with our next chance for rain returning Friday.
