High pressure brings a dry forecast with just a few high level clouds into Friday. Expecting a chilly night tonight with temps falling into mid teens in some places. Otherwise Friday will be peaches and cream. Southern air flow ahead of our next approaching system will allow warmer air to mix in & temperatures in the low 40s during the day on Friday.


The next low pressure system will toss heavier cloud cover our way as it scoots up the Atlantic Coast Friday night & Saturday. Wintry precip will overrun the area late Friday night with potential for freezing rain, sleet and some snow to create some icy spots early Saturday. Despite the messy start, Saturday will gradually warm up and dry out towards evening. Daytime high will be in the low 40s.


Sunday looks good with high pressure briefly bringing calm and dry conditions. But that will usher in a series of arctic fronts  for early next week. We could wring out a few showers during the first part of next week. Another quick drop in temperatures is on tap for the second part of next week.
