Synopsis:
High pressure over the Southeast will influence our conditions today. Friday will start off bright but clouds will increase and thicken as the next storm starts heading our way. Readings will be several degrees above the average high of the upper 30s.
A low will affect the region tonight into early Saturday morning with rain. Amazingly this storm will take the same track as its predecessor. An inland track meaning rain once again. The rain will develop between 6pm and 9pm. The brunt of the storm will be between 10pm and 4am. The thinking is it will not be nearly as severe as the last storm. 1/2 inches to 1 1/2 inches of rain is possible and winds will be gusty. A Flood Watch has been posted for areas North and West of the City. Flooding will once again be a concern as rivers and streams are high or at flood stage. Winds will gust out of the Southeast between 40-55mph with the highest gusts being at the coast. A few trees may topple do to the completely saturated soil and strong gusts.
Clouds and early morning showers Saturday should break for some sun during the day. It’ll be windy. Temperatures will start off mild during the wee hours of the morning and drop through the day.
Sunday will be the tranquil weekend day with abundant sunshine and chilly readings as Canadian air settles upon the region.
The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day will be bright and cold with highs a few degrees below average.
Looking down the pike JMW is monitoring the extended computer guidance. It looks like a low wants to develop along along the Southeast coast on Tuesday. The track of the low is yet to be determined. As of this writing there is a low potential of some snow.
Stay tuned.
