Wind chill values will be as low as -11, with an east wind between 3 and 5 mph.

Chance of precipitation is 80 percent.

A total nighttime snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches is possible.

Tomorrow, snow is likely, mainly before 1 p.m.

It will be cloudy, with a high near 29.

A calm wind will come from the west between 4 and 7 mph.
