A Small Chance Of Snow Remains, But It’s Not Very Likely

January 17, 2026

One thing is certain — a powerful cold front will bring a chance of precipitation and colder weather. What’s not certain — a chance of snow Saturday night into Sunday morning. But the snow is looking less likely.

The cold front will bring a chance of showers Saturday night. Temperatures are forecast to drop to near freezing Saturday night. Close enough to freezing that the National Weather Service says there is a chance of snow showers very late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. If snow happens, the weather service says there is little or no snow accumulation expected.

By Sunday, it will be cold with a high struggling to reach the middle 40s. Freezing temperatures in the 20s are expected for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights.

(As new forecast details become available during the day on Saturday, we will update this story.)
