Synopsis
There’ll be a brief break in the action today as high pressure builds over our region. If we are lucky we’ll get to see a bit of sun but the thinking is the clouds will dominate. Temperatures will be several degrees above the average high of the upper 30s.
Low pressure will develop over the Tennessee Valley today and move to the Northern Ohio Valley Sunday morning. This low will weaken and transfer its energy to another low that will develop over the Delmarva and move South of Long Island by Sunday evening. The result will be another round of rain beginning tonight and continuing into Sunday night. The rain has the potential to change over to wet snow late day Sunday North and West of the City as some cold air gets wrapped into the system. There is only marginally cold air available and no true influx of Canadian air with high pressure to the North. For this reason the City and coast should be predominantly rain. As the low intensifies off the Southern New England coast the rain may end as scattered flurries at the coast Monday morning. There is a potential of some accumulation well North and West by Monday morning. At this time, a coating of snow is possible. The sun should return Monday afternoon accompanied by a gusty North wind.
Seasonable temperatures are expected for Tuesday as high pressure sits over the region. The sun will dominate. We’ll go above average with the mercury on Wednesday as the lack of Arctic air continues for the last day of January.
