Arctic Air Sticking Around For A While

We’re back in the deep freeze and there’s little relief through the week.  An Arctic air mass has moves in and it’s going to be slow to release it grip on the deep south.  It may let up slightly late week but another Arctic blast blows in over the weekend.

In the meantime, we have a clear and cold night ahead. Temps will drop into the mid to upper teens for lows early Tuesday.  Thankfully, the winds do relax so wind chills won’t be like they were Monday morning.   We’re into full sunshine and temps do warm a tad Tuesday.  Most spots should reach the lower to mid 40s for highs.  Clouds will begin to roll in Wednesday and our sky becomes partly sunny.  Temps will climb a bit more and we’re hovering around 50 degrees for afternoon highs both Wednesday and Thursday.

Looks like a disturbance will head towards the state early Friday.  This system may bring in some rain with it.  Temps are cold that morning and there could be a brief wintry precipitation threat.  Just something we’re keeping an eye on for now.

The weekend is looking rather cold with another Arctic blast of colder air invading the region.  Temps will plunge into the teen’s and 20s for lows and highs only managing the 30s to around 40 degrees Saturday and Sunday.
