Here’s today’s Bottom Line:
Gosh yesterday was cccccold. We’ll have much milder temps today and tomorrow with dry skies … mostly.
Today will feature near-unlimited sunshine with highs in the upper 50s to around 60 in some spots. Our lows tonight into Wednesday morning will run some 10 degrees milder than last night into this morning.
Wednesday will be mild with scattered clouds ahead of a cold front that will sweep across the area late in the afternoon into Wednesday night. There’s the slight chance for some patchy light rain with the front during the afternoon, but by-and-large the frontal passage will be dry.
VERY COLD TEMPS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY NIGHT
It becomes blustery with VERY COLD TEMPERATURES coming Thursday afternoon into Friday morning. High temps on Thursday will come by about lunchtime, with temperatures falling through the afternoon. We’ll have gusty west to northwest winds in the wake of the cold front and an upper low to our north. Any snow chances that were mentioned yesterday are all but gone now as there will be very dry air in place.
Thursday night will be blustery and very cold with lows in the upper teens to around 20. The National Weather Service is likely to issue Cold Weather Advisories as wind chill values (what it “feels like”) will be around 10 above zero first thing Thursday.
FRIDAY MORNING BUS-STOP TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY TO BE IN THE UPPER TEENS.
Friday will remain cold as the Canadian high pressure crests over the area. Despite full sunshine, we’ll be lucky to reach the middle 40s.
A dramatic warmup then occurs Saturday as our NEXT frontal boundary approaches. We’ll have another round of blustery winds in the wake of the front. There may be some moisture with the front, and some of the modeling hints at a wave of low pressure forming. Right now I’m going with a dry forecast, but ensembles are starting to come into modest agreement at the possibility of something interesting occurring around the 18th-19th…..
