Discussion

The new year will be ushered in with brisk and cold conditions and dry weather should prevail as high pressure builds into the region. The dry weather will continue on Thursday, but then a storm system will impact us with rain at the end of the week and first part of the weekend. First, a warm front will spread some rain into the area beginning late Thursday night/early Friday and then a cold front will keep us wet on Saturday as well. The winds will pick up noticeably by Sunday as the next cold shot arrives and we’ll have to watch a clipper system dropping southeastward across the Great Lakes early next week as it could result in a snow shower or two around here.
