Discussion
After some light rain or drizzle this morning, it’ll turn windy this afternoon with gusts to 30 mph and milder with afternoon highs near 50 degrees. The work week will end with sunshine on Friday, but it will be cold and windy with afternoon high temperatures confined to the middle 30’s and lower wind chills. A long-lasting storm system will impact the region this weekend with snow and/or ice likely at the onset from mid-day to mid-afternoon on Saturday and then rain is likely from Saturday night into Sunday. There can be some snow accumulations on Saturday before the snow mixes with and changes over to rain/sleet. A strong cold front pushes through later Sunday and its passage will usher in a very cold air mass for the first half of next week. Looking ahead, there are signs of an east coast storm threat by the middle or latter part of next week...something we’ll closely monitor in coming days.
