Cloudy & chilly tonight; warm start to next week turns cold by the end
Sunday evening starts partly cloudy but leaves the door open for those looking to enjoy a nice sunset. A weak passing cold front will move in from the north tonight. While most will just see cloudy skies from it, a stray sprinkle up to our north and east can’t be ruled out. Overnight lows will drop into the 40s.
Monday is a chilly and gloomy start under mostly cloudy skies. From a passing cold front in the morning to a warm front lifting later in the day, sunshine will be a little tougher to come by compared to Sunday. Outside of a very isolated stray sprinkle chance in the morning, expect a dry and warm afternoon with temps approaching the low 60s.
Monday late afternoon and evening will see some breakage in the clouds, which will continue to keep temps in the low 60s and upper 50s. As our next system gets closer, cloudy skies will move in for the remainder of the night. Overnight lows dropping into the 40s but rain chances hold off until our next system crosses on Tuesday.
Tuesday brings a new front, starting in the early afternoon. This system will bring in scattered showers and cloudy skies. Rain amounts will vary with this system, with far eastern counties getting a tenth to the quarter of an inch with far southern counties getting close to half an inch. Either way, expect a gloomy day with temps in the 60s.
Wednesday brings in another system, a low pressure system passing up to our north. Hit or miss chances will be a good bet during the morning, becoming more scattered as we bring in a cold front. Before the cold front passes, afternoon highs will reach into the 60s. Enjoy the warm weather because the rest of the week will be much colder.
Look Into The Future Using Our StormTracker 59 Predictor
Thursday sees our low pressure drag itself up to our north, dragging in colder air as a result. Temps in the lowlands will get above freezing, resulting in primarily rain showers. The hilltops and mountains will have a much tougher time, resulting in snow showers. Warm ground temps will make it difficult for any accumulation to take place in the lowlands with the high country seeing a better shot for a few inches Thursday night into the weekend. Don’t forget those jackets with temps in the 40s and 30s, and wind gusts will be pushing 20-30 mph for the lowlands with the mountains 30-40 mph, so expect some cold wind chills!
Friday continues our cold snap with temps in the lowlands struggling to reach the 40 mark and mountains seeing temps in the 30s. Scattered snow showers, especially early in the day and nighttime look like a good bet, but once again little to no accumulations are expected outside of the high country. A breezy day is also in place, with wind gusts in the lowlands pushing 25-35 mph and the higher terrain seeing gusts pushing 40 mph, so again keep in mind of cold wind chills!
Saturday continues to see chances for rain and snow showers. The best chances for snow will still be across the eastern mountain on Saturday as the remaining moisture decreases for the lowlands. As an area of high pressure moves in, any remaining chances will be cut off during the overnight. A cold a breezy day with temps in the 40s.
In your extended forecast, an area of high pressure moves in Saturday night into Sunday, drying us out in the process. Temps stay chilly as they only warm up into the 40s for the lowlands. We’ll enjoy an extremely brief dry spell before more chances for showers arrive next week. Given how warm it will be, it’ll be all rain at this point.
