Discussion

It’ll turn somewhat colder today following the mild conditions of this past weekend, but not bad for this time of year. Over the next few days, two separate low pressure systems will ride up through the eastern states with the second system being the stronger one and having more of an impact on the region. Light rain will likely break out on Tuesday from the first system and a wintry mix cannot be ruled out at the onset in the far northern and western suburbs. The second system will take an inland track and rain is likely in the I-95 corridor and to points eastward to the coastline at mid-week and it’ll be heavy at times from later Wednesday into early Thursday. Cold air returns for the late week time period following that second storm system and winds will be quite strong as well on Thursday and Friday.
