Enjoy today's sun; clouds, rain, cold and snow ahead

Frigid start to Tuesday before mild temperatures return

Tonight will be chilly with decreasing clouds allowing for some communities to dip into the mid and low 30s. It will be slightly warmer closer to the lakeshore, plan for upper 30s and low 40s there.

Jackets and shades will be needed out the door on Tuesday!

Sunshine returns and temps take another step up, making a run at 60 degrees.

If youve got leaves to rake, a dog to walk or anything else to finish outside, Tuesday is looking like the pick of the week.

Veterans Day turns cooler

The mild weather doesnt stick around.

Veterans Day Wednesday brings the beginning of our cool-down. Clouds will be increasing throughout the day with showers starting to return after sunset.

The chilly rain becomes much more noticeable Thursday as our next weather system moves in.

Thursday looks SOAKED

Plan on a soggy Thursday with widespread rain that could come down heavy at times.

This isnt looking like one of those days where you dodge a shower and carry on. The umbrella, rain jacket and waterproof shoes will all be good ideas.

The rain also helps usher in much colder air. Overnight lows fall into the 30s, while afternoon highs struggle through the lower 40s.

And that brings us to something we havent talked much about yet this season...

Are our first snowflakes coming?

It could finally get cold enough for snowflakes to mix in as the colder air arrives.

Were not talking about a snowstorm or anything you need to shovel. At this point, think first-flake potential rather than accumulating snow. The wintry precip will linger the longest in the snowbelt region. It could linger into Sunday!

But after Tuesday pushes toward 60, seeing a few flakes just a couple of days later would be quite the November reality check.
