Sleet, rain, snow in forecast

Before getting ready for your day, check outside, because the National Weather Service gave a 30 percent chance of 1/2-inch of rain and sleet overnight.

But, according to the short term forecast, the precipitation was likely to become rain again by about 3 a.m. 

The high will be near 50 degrees today, and the low near 33.

Whether there's sleet outside or not, you can count on rain today, mainly after 4 p.m., according to NWS, which predicts a 70 percent chance of precipitation. There will only be about 1/10- to 1/4-inch, though.

Tonight there will be rain and sleet before 1 a.m. and then snow.

Could that mean another snow day for kids on Tuesday? Possibly. There's a 90 percent chance of precipitation, according to the NWS, with snow and sleet accumulating 1-2 inches. Snow is not likely after 7 a.m. Tuesday, the forecast states.

Clouds will clear Tuesday night, bringing the cold. The low is expected to be about 18 degrees.

The sun comes out Wednesday, but doesn't warm things up much. High will be about46 degrees. Low will be 25 degrees, according to the NWS.

There are 60 percent chances of rain on both Thursday and Friday, when the temperature will warm up a bit:  A high of 52 on Thursday, and 57 on Friday.
