Snow Still in Forecast — “Winter is not fully done with us just yet… we are tracking two systems that could bring wintry weather to the region. First threat would be Monday into Tuesday as a low pressure system slides by south of our area. This could bring a few inches of snow or a wintry mix. Though the track will be crucial on what type and how much wintry precipitation we may get.” [WWG/X]
Big Warmup Coming — “Big warmup starting in about a week, 60s and 70s possible Yes, snow is in the forecast on Monday. But after that wintry system passes on Tuesday, the weather pattern is poised to shift in a radical way. The jet stream dip that has allowed repeated bouts of frigid air to plunge southward will retreat to the north. This will allow much milder air to surge in from the south and west.” [CWG/X]
It’s Friday — Expect a mostly sunny day with highs around 53°F and winds becoming southerly at 5 mph in the afternoon. The evening will be mostly clear with lows near 38°F. [NWS]
