Synopsis:
This weekend will be a bit unsettled. There will be upper level energy working over the region. It’ll come in two shots. Areas of on and off light snow and rain (depending on your temperature) will be likely on Saturday. A light accumulation is possible over the Northern half of the region. The possibility of a few inches is there for Northwestern areas mainly on colder surfaces. Southern areas will see little in the way of precipitation and it may end up being dry.
The second threat will be on Sunday. There will be a developing area of offshore low pressure. At this time it looks like most of the snow will stay East of the region. Mainly cloudy skies are expected for Sunday. If the band of snow moves farther West a brush of light snow is possible at the coast. This is a low potential at this time.
MLK Day will feature mostly sunny skies and colder readings. Highs will be near freezing. An Arctic blast will arrive late day Monday and into Tuesday. Highs Tuesday will only be in the lower 20s with a frigid wind to add to the misery.
Wednesday readings will struggle to get to freezing as the core of the cold airmass moves out.
Stay tuned.
