Goodbye February

Stubborn low pressure system continues to pummel the northeast states, drawing moisture from the Atlantic, combining with steady northwest flow from the lakes. This system will finally push off to the east Monday. Anticipating a few snow showers to produce an additional 1-3 inches in the lowlands and 4 or 5 inches in the mountains through Sunday. Sunshine will break through otherwise mostly cloudy skies Sunday to help raise temps into the upper 30s. Temperatures will continue to reach the upper 30s all next week to boot. A sun/cloud mix and a few isolated mountain showers are on tap for Monday. Low pressure will build over our friends in NOLA and will move northeast, becoming closed off by Tuesday morning. So we’ll see more clouds Tuesday as that low draws moisture from the Atlantic coast. Again, this system will combine with the ever-persistent northwest flow providing a slight chance of snow Tuesday night. Count on more snow Wednesday. Although after our snow bound February this mid-week blast of winter weather will seem like a day at the park. Expect 4 inches in the lowlands and 6 inches in higher elevations Wednesday with showers gradually ending Thursday. High pressure will build into our area Friday. Forecast perks up for next weekend! Warmer and dry with temps likely reaching the low 40s. Rain/snow mix on tap for Sunday and Monday.
