Discussion
The overall weather pattern begins to turn colder this weekend as there will be more frequent cold shots over the next couple of weeks compared to what we’ve experienced during the past couple of weeks. In fact, one such cold blast will arrive in the Northeast US on Saturday night and it promises to be windy and cold around here on Sunday and Monday following what will be a warm end to the week. Temperatures on Friday afternoon ahead of the weekend cold blast should soar well into the 60’s and then they’ll likely be confined to the 40’s on Sunday and Monday afternoons. This weekend cold blast will lead to the first widespread Great Lakes snow event in areas just downstream of the lakes and there could even be some snow shower activity pushing into areas east of the mountains and into the I-95 corridor.
