Forecast Discussion

A strong cold front knifed through the region this morning. Temperatures propel downward today after early highs. It will be rainy, and the rain could mix with sleet this afternoon. Precipitation will taper off and end during the afternoon, paving the way for clearing Thursday evening with a cold night.

Friday will be bright and sunny, but rather cold. High pressure will dominate our weather right through the upcoming weekend. That will favor sunshine and pleasantly milder temperatures for Saturday and Sunday. A disturbance crossing the area Sunday night will increase our cloudiness, and may bring some sprinkles or light rain.

Looking ahead to next week, Monday starts benign/nice before a weak but broad low-pressure area lifting out of the Gulf of Mexico spreads some rain back into the region for next Tuesday.
