Synopsis
Happy New Year!
The sun will return for the start of the New Year. High pressure over the Southeast will strengthen and build along the Eastern seaboard through Monday. Today and tomorrow will be mainly sunny and mild.
Low pressure will move out of the Ohio Valley and toward the region Tuesday into Wednesday. Mainly cloudy skies are expected with the chance of showers just about anytime. It will not be a complete washout.
The jet stream through midweek will continue to be the atmospheric highway for a unseasonably mild time. Temperatures through this period will be ten to twenty degrees above the average high of around 40º. In fact, Wednesday most areas will experience readings in the 60s!
A cool front will move through on Thursday. We’ll cool off but still be a few degrees above average under a mix of clouds and sun.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
