Weather Forecast: A Week of Ups & Downs with Snow Over Weekend

Watertown residents should prepare for a classic February weather pattern with plenty of ups and downs. After a quiet end to the week, all eyes are on a winter storm set to arrive late Saturday night, bringing a good chance for plowable snowfall across the area. While trends are favoring mostly snow, there’s still a small chance for some sleet or freezing rain to mix in. Once that system moves out, we’ll dry out to start the new workweek before another potential winter storm moves in by midweek. This second system is still uncertain in its track, but it’s something to keep an eye on. Temperatures will stay seasonably cold throughout the week, with highs mostly in the upper 20s to low 30s.
