Bright, Mild Presidents’ Day…

 

Synopsis:

On Presidents’ Day, a mild push will arrive as winds turn to the Southwest around departing high pressure offshore. Highs will be ten degrees above average under abundant sunshine.

For once in a longtime most areas temperatures will be above freezing tonight.

Low pressure will head toward the region Tuesday. Thickening clouds and showers are expected by afternoon. It’ll will be mild.

Wednesday will greet us with another Spring preview as we’ll be in between systems. Cold air will remain well to the North.

Thursday should be dry but the next in a series of low pressure systems will throw clouds our way. It’ll be much cooler as the flow will turn out of Canada.

On Friday, low pressure will move up the spine of the Appalachians. It should be cold enough for mixed precipitation during the morning. Enough warm air should work into the system for mainly rain for a majority of the day.

Stay tuned.
