Forecast Discussion

After a cold winter, snow enthusiasts will just have to excuse most of us being happy about a break in the cold. Today and Tuesday, seasonably mild temperatures rule with high pressure in control. The only issue of note through tomorrow is breezy winds today into Tuesday morning. Clouds increase late Tuesday letting you know somethings about the change.

The "change" will be big Wednesday. A strong front barrels through by mid afternoon. Rain develops late Tuesday night and continue Wednesday. Even some thunder is possible. Temperatures fall very quickly late Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night changing rain to snow showers. Precipitation changes to snow showers by sunset Wednesday on mountaintops and across the entire region Wednesday night. It will be very windy Wednesday night.

Thursday is impressively cold with early morning flurries and clearing afternoon skies.

Temperatures moderate to near seasonal norms by late Friday afternoon. Saturday has increasing clouds with a dry front moving through by evening. But that front stalls just to our south and east. Temperatures remain near or slightly above normal this weekend. Sunday will have lots of clouds and spotty light rain cannot be ruled out.

Winter does not want to give up this year. More "excitement" is possible by the middle of next week.
