Tomorrow night: Colder air rushes into the area and a wave along the front delivers some rain showers that could turn to snow after midnight and by the early dawn hours. Lows range from the middle 30s to around 40. Some colder spots in the far north and west could pick up some light accumulation toward rush hour, so keep an eye on this potential.
