Another unsettled week with rain, snow, and wintry mix chances with mostly cautious to hazardous weather conditions. Monday will have chances of snow for northwestern areas, and then wintry mix and rain for the rest of the state. This will begin overnight on Sunday and continue throughout the day. Areas seeing snow could see things change over to a mix or even rain, as temperatures will only rise from the overnight low above freezing. Tuesday will see a chance of showers and flurries, then rain/snow showers on Wednesday. Thursday will see flurries again and then rain/snow showers for Friday Night into the weekend. Highs will only be in the 40’s and 50’s on Monday, 30’s and 40’s for Tuesday and Wednesday, then 20’s and 30’s for the week’s end. Overnight lows will range from the 30’s down into the single digits later in the week. Winds will be gusty all week. Not even officially Winter, but this week will feel like it. It has been rather mild and calm to this point, so we were due for this change. Water conditions will be mixed from good to hazardous with mostly cautious to hazardous conditions. Winds will gust to 40 knots this week and offshore seas will push 20+ feet. Surf conditions will be borderline to cautious with winds to 30+ knots and surf heights to 7 feet. Water temperatures are in the 40’s and 50’s. UV Index will be Low at 0-2/15.
Low pressure crossing the Great Lakes region tonight lifts a warm front into our area. This will be quickly followed by a cold front pushing through the region Monday afternoon as the center of the low moves to Maine. Low pressure forms off the Mid Atlantic Coast Wednesday as it precedes the passage of a strong cold front during the evening. Strong high pressure builds east through the end of the work week bringing our coldest air of the season so far Thursday and Friday. Low pressure next weekend moves from the central Plains into southeast Canada with its cold frontal passage later Sunday.
The weekend will be wet with rain/snow chances again. Highs will be in the 30’s and 40’s with overnight lows in the 20’s and 30’s…a warm up from the end of the week. Water conditions will be cautious to hazardous with winds to 30+ knots and seas to 8 feet.
Have a great week and thanks for reading!
