Another mixed week with mostly cautious water conditions. Monday and Tuesday will have chances of rain showers. The rest of the week looks dry. Highs will be in the 30’s to 50’s with lows in the teens to 30’s. Overall, not a bad weather week, for the middle of Winter. Water conditions will be cautious with some hazardous days and some borderline days. Tuesday will be the worst with Gale Force winds and seas to 15 feet.
A low pressure system will propagate from the southern Plains to the Great Lakes region into Tuesday. A warm front will be gradually moving north across our area later tonight and Monday. As the low moves into southeastern Canada, a cold front is expected across our area Tuesday. High pressure will then build across the region for the end of the week. Another low pressure system may move into the area late next weekend.
Have a great week and thanks for reading!
