Discussion
The new week starts off with high pressure in place and then a weak low pressure system will push just to the south of here later Tuesday. As a result, today will feature partly sunny skies, but the breeze will remain rather noticeable and temperatures will be well below-normal for this time of year. After a mainly clear night, clouds will thicken up on Tuesday as the low pressure system approaches and there can be some rain by late in the day lasting into Tuesday evening and a few snowflakes can be mixed in across the far northern suburbs. The overall weather pattern should become milder late in the week, but the warming trend will bring unsettled conditions with the threat of showers from time-to-time.
