Effective: Wed January 14, 2026, 2:24 PM
Expires: Thu January 15, 2026, 2:30 AM

Light rain will change to snow showers later this evening and tonight, with snow showers expected area wide by 10 PM this evening. Generally light accumulations are anticipated, however, with the falling temperatures, slick conditions will be possible on untreated roadways through Thursday. In addition, heavier bands of snow, and gusty winds at times could produce sudden visibility reductions. Those traveling this evening and overnight should be prepared for the potential of reduced visibility and slick conditions in spots. These conditions may persist into the Thursday morning commute. Please allow extra time to reach your destination if traveling.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
