Discussion
High pressure will build to our north today and it’ll turn cooler than Sunday, but still above-normal for the middle of January. Weak low pressure will head in this direction on Tuesday and increase the chance for showers, but should be nothing significant. Another low pressure system and its associated cold front can throw another shower our way on Thursday before ushering in an Arctic air mass at week’s end (and an overall colder weather pattern will get underway). This cold air outbreak is likely to set the stage for snow, ice and rain on Friday night and Saturday and front end accumulations are on the table.
