High pressure gains control today, clearing any lingering low level clouds out of the area. We'll see mostly clear skies this afternoon and just a few high level clouds tonight. Expecting a dry but very chilly night/ Tuesday morning with an overnight low of 26.
Plenty of sunshine Tuesday morning will help put temperatures in the mid to upper 50s. But clouds will be on the increase as the day progresses as another low pressure system makes its way from the southern plains into our region. Rain showers and a few isolated thunderstorms are possible Wednesday into Thursday. An additional inch or 1.5 of new rainfall is possible for midweek. Flash flood advisories will likely be issued as that system taps into Gulf Coast moisture Wednesday& Thursday. We'll also see strong gusty winds as that front crosses the Appalachians through Thursday.
Temperatures will stay on the mild side until cold air on the backside of the front Thursday will change any remaining precipitation over to snow Tursday night. A few snow flurries will linger into Friday morning. Temperatures will bounce back Friday into the upper 40s/ 50s with clear & calm skies expected into Saturday. Another system will arrive from the Great Lakes late Saturday into Sunday. Expect cooler temps, persisent low-lying clouds and a few light rain showers this weekend.
