ON THE MAPS: A powerful storm system is forecast to develop in southern Canada on today then track toward the Great Lakes by tomorrow. Strong winds and wintry precipitation from this storm will impact the northern Plains and Upper Midwest beginning Saturday. Numerous High Wind Warnings, Wind Advisories even Blizzard Watches are in effect across this region.
SUNNY SUNDAY: Great looking weather will continue for our Sunday. After the chilly start, which I highly recommend grabbing the jackets when heading out the door, our afternoon highs, thanks to an abundance of sunshine, will warm into the upper 50s and lower 60s, and will be a few degrees warmer than today.
TROUGH DIGGING IN: The upper air pattern over the eastern half of the country takes on a decidedly colder look as a high amplitude trough develops on Monday. A departing surface low in the Atlantic will cause us to start the new work week, with increasing clouds during the day, and some light rain, or a few sprinkles will be possible by afternoon. Monday could well be one of those days in which the temperatures fall during the day. With colder air moving and some lingering moisture, this brings the potential for snow flurries late Monday and through Tuesday. No need to worry, the precipitation will be very light, and no impact is expected. For Tuesday, expect a rather raw day and likely the coldest of the week, with our highs struggling to get to the mid-40s morning lows in the upper 20s and lower 30s.
WARMING TREND: This cold snap, will make a quick exit stage right and we are going to start to see our temperatures begin to moderate midweek. We should see lower 50s on Wednesday and the warm-up will continue through the rest of the week. Lows will be in the lower 30s Thursday and mid-40s Friday and afternoon highs will likely see lower and mid-60s by the end of next week, and it looks to stay dry through the following weekend.
