You've no doubt felt the plunge in temperature today, as well as the dreary rain. Well, the exciting news is that this dull drizzle is forecast to transform into something spectacular: snow.

A strong cold front moved in early this morning, bringing gusty winds, a sharp drop in temperatures, and a raw, damp chill.

But, by evening, the rain is expected to transition to wet snow. While urban areas may see just a light dusting, western and northern districts could receive 1 to 3 centimeters of accumulation.

Be advised: this snowfall is likely to coincide with the evening rush hour. Travel safely, brace for a longer commute than usual, and if you have an important trip, consider leaving earlier to account for the conditions.

The cold will persist over the weekend, with subzero temperatures overnight. On a brighter note, meteorological authorities are also forecasting a clear, sunny winter Sunday.

So stay warm, drive carefully, and enjoy the wintry shift in weather—and perhaps pencil in a crisp walk over the weekend to enjoy the snow-dusted scenery.
