Low pressure wave crosses the Appalachians this evening and tonight. Light rain showers gradually edge eastward as the frontal boundary reaches our area. Rain will change to snow quickly with nightfall. Accumulation on the order of 2 or 3 inches can be expected before things gradually dry out Tuesday evening. A few light snow flurries are possible in the southern part of the state and in our mountain counties early Wednesday. Otherwise things will remain relatively calm for the rest of this week. Lowlands will stay dry until Saturday when another weak low pressure disturbance brings a few light snow flurries back into the forecast.
Temperatures will be a more interesting story than our whatever precip we muster this week. Cold air behind tonight's front will bring temperatures down to the low to mid 20s early Tuesday. Much colder arctic air will arrive Tuesday night. Expect strong gusty winds to develop Tuesday night into Wednesday. With significant wind gusts and temperatures falling to single digits, Tuesday night will be bone-chilling...Wednesday will be about the same, with lows reaching single digits. We'll see a gradual warm up with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s for the second half of this week...and perhaps even in the 40s for this weekend!
