A chilly start to the new work week in the wake of an upper-level system that brought rain to the region over the weekend. High pressure extending from the Upper Midwest to the Gulf of Mexico will build eastward into the Tennessee Valley and it could lead to some gusty winds around here today. The center of the high moves overhead late tonight and conditions will be favorable for considerably cooling – perhaps to freezing in spots. A warming trend will begin by mid-week as the high pressure slides by to our east and our chances for showers will increase later in the week.

Another frontal system will pass through the region tomorrow night and it’ll usher in much colder air for the mid and latter parts of the week.

Low pressure will pull out the Gulf states today and head northeast towards the Tennessee Valley region. As a result, the threat for showers will continue today and given cooling aloft, there may even be a rumble of thunder or two. The low pressure system will exit the area early tonight and high pressure will build in from west-to-east early this weekend. Both weekend days are likely to feature plenty of sunshine with only moderately cool temperatures on Saturday and then milder conditions early next week.

A second and stronger system will push more rain into our area by Friday and we’ll have to wait until the weekend for better weather. In fact, the weekend looks quite nice as high pressure takes over and temperatures rebound to the 60 degree mark by Sunday afternoon.

As the eastern US suffers through yet another soaking rain event to close out this shortened work week, seeds are already being sown for another rain event early next week as this active weather pattern looks like it will continue right into the new year. Today’s system plunged into the Southwest US earlier this week and is now headed towards the Great Lakes region and well to the west of the I-95 corridor. Given this well inland track, warmer air has surged northward along the eastern seaboard resulting in plain rain around here and it looks like there may be a repeat performance by the atmosphere early next week.
On Monday, strong energy in the upper atmosphere will pull out of the Southwest US and head towards the eastern Great Lakes - once again keeping the east coast in the warm sector with plain rain likely from later Monday into early Tuesday. Colder air will then filter into the Mid-Atlantic region at mid-week at the same time another strong wave of energy drops into the Southwest US. It is still unclear and many days away, but there is a chance that this system may end up taking more of a southern track late next week which would make it a bit trickier in terms of rain versus snow in the Mid-Atlantic region; however, cold air will likely only be marginal.
