☀️ Today’s Weather
Increasing clouds early morning, quickly becoming cloudy. Then a light wintry mix moves in from south to north between 10 a.m. and noon, changing to plain rain for most places in the afternoon and tapering off by 10–11 p.m.; expect only a glaze of ice late morning to midday before things melt away in the afternoon (High: 38 / Low: 32). If you’re an early riser, there’s also a total lunar eclipse before dawn. So if skies clear for a brief spell before the wintry stuff arrives, the moon might put on a show.
