Cold Snap Ends! Warming Trend Ahead

High pressure is sliding east of us allowing southerly winds to return. This will start the warming trend but also bring back in moisture. Our blue sky will give way to clouds and possibly a few showers Wednesday. We have a better chance of rain with an approaching frontal boundary Thursday. The air ahead of the front will become a…

Cold Overnight!

We are in the midst of a late season cold snap. We sit underneath a ridge of high pressure tonight. Clear skies and light winds will allow temperatures to drop into the low to mid 30s overnight. Patchy frost can be expected in spots early Tuesday morning. A good supply of sunshine returns and temps warm into the upper 60s…

Rain Through Saturday

A stationary front will remain over our southern counties through Saturday. This front will be the focal point for showers and t-storms. Some of the storms could be strong to severe with main threats 60mph wind gust and quarter size hail. This stormy weather pattern will depart Saturday evening allowing much colder air mass to move into the area. We…

Occasional Showers Then Turning Colder

A frontal boundary moves south and stalls over the northwest panhandle tonight. This boundary will be the focal point for passing showers for the next few days. Our southern counties will have the better chance for rain activity while northward rain is a bit more sporadic in nature.  A disturbance will drop down into the area an increase the rain…

Cold air is coming back!

Summer-like heat all across the region today. Our record high 89 degrees makes this the hottest day so far this year. It’s a one day event so don’t go putting away the cold weather gear just yet. A frontal boundary will move through tomorrow. You can expect an increase in cloud cover but little if any rain accompanies the front. This…

Record Warmth Possible

Summer-like warmth is coming our way Tuesday. Warm southerly winds along with a good supply of sunshine will send temps into the upper 80s to near 90 in spots. We could see record high temps broken across the region. A dry frontal boundary moves through here on Wednesday. The front sets up to our south and eventually disturbances ride along…

Not a weekend washout!

The system that has caused all the heavy rain to our west is on the move tonight.  It’s lifting northeastward and weakening as it does.  We fall within the training precipitation field so this means a decent chance for rain tonight and Saturday.  The system is absorbed in the upper level flow and departs the region, leaving us in a drier…

Warm And Dry For Now

Little change in our weather from day to day. High pressure to our east continues to funnel in warm air. Daytime highs will hover in the upper 70s to lower 80s well into next week. The weather feature out west that’s been causing all the rain will slowly push precipitation our way. It looks like some showers and t-storms will…

Warm Up Continues

High pressure continues to sit off the southeast coast.  This keeps us in a southeast wind flow and temps respond with mid to upper 70s.  We don’t see this changing until the up coming weekend.  In the mean time, more of the same with partly sunny skies and temps approaching 80 degrees. The system out to our west will finally…

80 Degree Warmth Ahead

Looking and feeling a lot like spring across the region this week. High pressure has setup just off the southeast coast. As a result, we get a mild southeasterly wind flow through most of the week. Temps will climb into the mid to upper 70s each day. We should see a few spots hit the 80 degree mark through midweek….
