Temperatures will be pretty winter-like for the most of the forecast period, and we have a decent shot by midweek next week.

Today we will be cool with highs in the upper 50’s to around 60º. Tonight we only cool down to around 40º, and tomorrow we’ll warm up to the mid 60’s - our warmest temps in the forecast period - as another cold front moves through. The front will bring breezy north winds that will cool us down pretty quick as we get later in the day, bringing overnight lows down to the low 30’s by Saturday morning.

Saturday will be cool with highs topping out around 50º - and some won’t get out of the 40’s. One of our long-range models is still doubling down on snowfall for parts of our area, but it’s hard to imagine any precipitation reaching the surface with bone dry air in place. I think we’ll see it farther up (creating the virga discussed on yesterday’s post), but I’m not convinced we can expect anything at the surface. Saturday night we will freeze area-wide as temperatures drop into the 20’s area-wide. Yes, you’ll want to drip the faucets Saturday night! Sunday we warm up a bit to the mid 50’s with overnight lows in the mid 30’s going into Monday morning.

Monday we reach the mid 50’s as another cold front arrives, and we’ll be back down to the low 30’s for a light freeze overnight. Tuesday we top out around 50º (some stay in the 40’s) as a low chance of rain arrives. Those rain chances climb Wednesday as a disturbance crosses the state. Rain chances look great right now, but there is still plenty of time for that to change. That said, though, the trend has been fairly consistent up to this point - here’s hoping it stays the course!
