Synopsis:
High pressure will move off the coast today. Readings will be several degrees above the average high of 37º. Clouds will dominate as a cold front approaches the area.
Monday will be dry and chilly. A polar vortex will swing out of Canada and move to the Great Lakes Tuesday and Wednesday. This airmass will be bitterly cold. The latest computer guidance suggests that the upper levels winds will be traveling at a very high speed, so even though a good bit of energy will swing through the area, precipitation looks to be limited for later Tuesday and Tuesday night. A storm won’t get it’s act together until it’s well to the North and East of the area. At this time rain and snow showers are in the forecast for later Tuesday. A period of light snow is possible Tuesday night. Minor accumulations are possible, mainly to the North and West of the City.
A bitter blast will once again grip the area on Wednesday and Thursday as the polar vortex pushes it’s Arctic grip on the tri-state area. Temperatures maybe as cold or even a tad colder the MLK’s frigid readings.
You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
Stay tuned.
