Discussion
A weak disturbance can cause a few snow showers this morning – perhaps even a dusting of snow in some spots - and then high pressure will build over the region later in the day and stay in control into the weekend. Despite some afternoon sunshine, temperatures will end the week at below-normal levels for this time of year. In fact, temperatures later tonight are likely to drop to some of the lowest levels of the year so far with partly cloudy skies and late night lows in the lower 20’s in some spots. A weak disturbance can cause a couple of showers of rain and/or snow on Sunday and a volatile weather pattern will continue next week and a cold blast may arrive by Christmas Day (Friday).
