After a very windy day across the region with some places seeing wind gusts approaching hurricane force (over 70 MPH), we will see the winds relax with a calm weather day to start the weekend, but then, the weather forecast gets much more active looking ahead into the next 3-4 days... Here’s the breakdown on what you can expect:
SATURDAY: High pressure will control the forecast to start the weekend. That will bring us some sunshine, but it will also be colder as we head into the start of the weekend. High temperatures heading into the lower 40’s by the time we get to Saturday afternoon.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Our next weather disturbance moves into the region by late Saturday night and into the overnight, and this brings us a chance of winter weather to the region. Most of the region will see a mix of rain and snow showers, but our northern communities may see all snow for this event, which could leave a light accumulation. Overnight lows are dropping into the lower 30s by early Sunday morning.
SUNDAY: We start the day with a chance of rain and snow showers, before the cloud cover sticks around for the rest of the day. With a strong southerly flow ahead of another strong low-pressure system moving into the region, we will see our daytime high temperatures soar into the low to mid 60s by Sunday afternoon.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Expect rain showers to move into the region by the early to mid evening hours, then the chance of thunderstorms works into the forecast late Sunday night and into the overnight. This is where we would look for the chance of strong to severe thunderstorms. Damaging winds will be the primary threat, and while the tornado threat is low, I do not think it is zero. There could be an isolated tornado spin-up along the line of thunderstorms that moves in late Sunday night into early Monday morning.
MONDAY: We will continue with the chance of showers and thunderstorms in the forecast to start the day on Monday as our cold front rolls through the region. Then, with colder air moving in late Monday night, we also bring the chance of rain and snow showers into the forecast late Monday night. Winds will also be an issue once again, looking ahead through the day on Monday. The National Weather Service is saying a Wind Advisory will likely be needed for Monday, with wind gusts expected to be back into the 40 to 50 MPH range to start next week.
TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: Colder changes stick around for the middle of next week. High temperatures will be near zero when waking up on Tuesday morning. High temperatures are warming only into the 20s by Tuesday afternoon. Then, we will warm back up into the 50s by Thursday and Friday. Cloud cover sticks around, but a much more tranquil weather pattern for the second half of next week.
