The morning snapshot (5:00 AM CST)

Today: Cloudy, with flurries lurking early
Today stays cloudy, with a 40% chance of flurries this morning.

UV index is 1 (low), which is basically the sun saying, “I’m here… emotionally.”

Go with a winter coat that blocks wind, insulated gloves, and warm boots with grip. If you’re out early, treat sidewalks like they’re plotting against you.
Tonight: Snow, a temperature rise, and a freezing-drizzle twist
Tonight brings periods of snow ending after midnight, then cloud with a 40% chance of flurries. About 2 cm of snow is expected, and there’s a risk of freezing drizzle overnight, which is the weather’s way of turning everything into a surprise skating rink.
Winds shift south at 20 km/h, becoming light after midnight. Here’s the odd part: temperatures rise to -3°C by morning(an abnormal trend marker in your feed), so it may feel noticeably less bitter later overnight. Wind chill hovers near -17 this evening, easing to about -7 overnight.
