It will be breezy tone as our next system moves in from the west and we do have a chance for a few light rain showers as well. This is after 8 00 tonight. So if you have dinner plans tonight, youre okay. But as we take you through future view here you can see that the rain starts to move in from the west after 8 00 and then hangs around through the Early Morning hours of tomorrow. So as you walk out the door tomorrow morning you might be seeing a few light rain showers. Now the temperature tomorrow is going to drop through the day, so around, as many as 7 00 in the morning on the model, may switch over to a mix of rain and snow and then eventually in the afternoon all snow. But the thing with this system is that its pretty starved for moisture, so were not going to see a ton of rainfall were not going to see a ton of snow. Its not going to rain or snow on you every minute tomorrow, but we will have some moisture out there from time to time throughout the morning and into the evening as well. Now, wednesday, that lake takes over. Its not frozen yet, so we have a chance for some lake effect snow showers. Toll little to no accumulation, but wednesday maybe a dusting for some of you, especially out east. Thursday a break. Friday another chance for some lake effect snow showers and then the weekend. Looking good right now. It does like like we may see a few showers, but the chance for now is very small. Im loving those numbers. What about you, john . You bet. Hey, you knoww what .
