Synopsis:
An Arctic front will approach the region later this morning through early afternoon. Scattered snow showers and snow squalls are possible at this time. Not all areas will see the snow. A snow squall is a brief burst of heavy snow and high winds that dramatically reduces visibility. A quick coating is possible. Roadways quickly can become treacherous. Please use caution. Readings will be near average-the upper 30s, and then drop a few degrees later in the day. Skies will be partly sunny with the exception of when the rapidly moving front moves through.
The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day will be bright and cold with highs near freezing.
A low will develop off the Southeast coast on Tuesday. The track of the low looks to stay far enough off the coast to only brush the area with light snow. The potential for a coating of snow is there.
Wednesday and Thursday will feature partly sunny skies and cold temperatures. Highs will be around freezing.
Already there is chatter about some storm Friday . Folks, you know where I stand on all of this. Don’t believe the hype. Many days to follow any development. At this time there is a low potential of some snow.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
