Discussion
A cold air mass will pour into the region today follow yesterday’s fast-moving low pressure system with NW wind gusts to 40 mph or so. There is also the good chance for snow shower activity as the atmosphere will stay somewhat unstable along with the possibility of a heavier snow squall or two which could cause a quick drop in visibility and slick driving conditions. High pressure will drift closer in the overnight hours and winds will diminish, but temperatures by morning should be in the lower 20’s. It stays cold on Thursday although less harsh with little to no wind and then a warm up begins on Friday. That warm up will intensify dramatically on Saturday as high pressure shifts off the east coast and temperatures are likely to soar to 60 degrees with some rain possible for Saturday night and Sunday.
