Synopsis:

A significant cold front moved through early this morning. Temperatures will continue to plummet from highs near 60º just after midnight into the 30s and 20s today. Skies will be partly sunny with a brisk wind. Any standing water will freeze.

Strong high pressure will move to upstate New York through the weekend. It will be bitterly cold  tonight with lows in the teens and single digits.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday will be tranquil but cold.

A weak Alberta Clipper will race through the area on Tuesday with scattered snow showers. A more significant storm may develop off the coast on Wednesday. Where this storm forms and tracks is anybody’s guess, but it does have a low potential at this time to give the area accumulating snow.

Stay tuned.

Saturday:

Partly sunny, windy and much colder. Temperatures will fall into 30s at the coast with readings falling into the 20s inland. Northwest winds at 15-25mph Wind chills will be in the teens and 20s.

Tonight:

Clear and frigid. Lows in the mid teens in the City, the single digits inland. Northwest winds at 10-20mph. Wind chills near 0º.

Sunday:

Mostly sunny, breezy and cold. Highs in the upper 20s.

Monday:

Partly sunny, breezy and cold. Highs in the upper 20s.

Tuesday:

Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow showers. Highs in the mid 30s.

Wednesday:

Synopsis:

A strong Southerly flow will continue tonight ahead of sharp cold front and developing storm on the front. Readings will remain well into the 50s for a majority of the night with periods of rain. There will be dry times with areas of fog, but when the rain falls it could be heavy at times. Local flooding is possible.

The significant cold front will move through within a couple hours of sunrise. Rain is likely through early Saturday morning. The temperature gradient from the immediate coast to 150 miles North and West is extreme-from the 50s to the 20s. If the low is far enough East the cold air gets a chance to spill in before the precipitation ends over the Northwestern suburbs a freezing rain or a mix may occur. This has to monitored very closely. Whatever the case, the precipitation will end Saturday morning with temperatures falling into the 20s and 30s during the afternoon with returning sunshine.

Colder times will be with us for the rest of the weekend and into next week. A weak Alberta Clipper will race through the area on Tuesday with scattered snow showers. A more significant storm may develop off the coast on Wednesday. Where this storm forms and tracks is anybody’s guess, but it does have a low potential at this time to give the area accumulating snow.

Stay tuned.

Tonight:

Warm with periods of rain and thunderstorms. The rain maybe heavy at times. Areas of fog. Lows in the 50s then dropping into the 40s in the City, the 40s then dropping into the 30s inland. South wind at 10-20mph becoming Northwest toward dawn.

Saturday:

Periods of rain in the morning. Freezing rain or a mix is possible inland. The sun will make an appearance during the afternoon. A morning high in the 40 at the coast ,30s inland with readings falling into the 30s along the coast, the 20s inland during the afternoon. Northwest winds at 15-2mph.

Sunday:

Partly sunny, breezy and much colder. Highs in the upper 20s.

Monday:

Partly sunny, breezy and colder. Highs in the upper 20s.

Tuesday:

Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow showers. Highs in the mid 30s.

Wednesday:

Mostly cloudy with a low potential of accumulating snow. Highs around 30º.

Synopsis:

It’ll feel like Spring to day. A significant ridge will develop with the jet stream this will allow a Southerly flow to develop ahead of the front and storm system. Very warm air will work up from the South. Periods of rain is expected. There will be dry times. Temperatures will be at or above 60º. There will be areas of fog.

On Saturday a second low pressure will move up the Piedmont. The latest computer guidance has the storm a bit closer to the coast. Rain is likely Saturday morning. The temperature gradient from the immediate coast to 150 miles North and West is extreme-from the 50s to the 20s. If the low is far enough East the cold air will spill into the Northwestern suburbs and allow for a freezing rain situation. This has to monitored very closely. Whatever the case, the precipitation will end Saturday morning with temperatures falling into the 20s and 30s during the afternoon with returning sunshine.

Colder times are in our future beyond this time frame and there is a a threat of light snow Tuesday. Enjoy the break now!

Synopsis:

A January thaw will be with us through early Saturday morning.

High pressure will dominate through today with tranquil conditions and readings well above freezing. The return flow around the high will allow the mercury to reach the lower 50s. The average high is 38º.

A significant ridge will develop with the jet stream this will allow a Southerly flow to develop ahead of the front and storm system. Very warm air will work up from the South on Friday. Periods of rain is expected. Some of the rain will be heavy Friday morning. Snow melt for sure.

On Saturday a second low pressure will move up the Piedmont. The latest computer guidance has the storm a bit closer to the coast. Rain is likely Saturday morning. The temperature gradient from the immediate coast to 150 miles North and West is extreme-from the 50s to the 20s. If the low is far enough East the cold air will spill into the Northwestern suburbs and allow for a freezing rain situation. This has to monitored very closely. Whatever the case the precipitation will end Saturday afternoon with temperatures falling into the 20s and 30s by late day.

Synopsis:

A January thaw will be with us for the next several days. A welcome relief as we’ve been below freezing for two weeks.

High pressure will dominate through Thursday with tranquil conditions and readings well above freezing. By Thursday, the return flow around the high will allow the mercury to reach the lower 50s. The average high is 38º.

A significant ridge will develop with the jet stream this will allow a Southerly flow to develop ahead of the front and storm system. Very warm air will work up from the South. Rain is likely Friday and Saturday with the approaching systems. Highs will be in the 50s!  Snow melt for sure.

Colder air behind the low will move in for Sunday. Enjoy the break now!

Synopsis:

We’ll finally come out of the deep freeze we’ve been in since Christmas Night. The polar vortex is moving out and will be replaced by a more zonal jet stream, meaning a mild flow. A January thaw is on the way for the remainder of the week.

High pressure will dominate today and Wednesday with tranquil conditions and readings above freezing. The high will move offshore Thursday. The return flow will allow the mercury to reach highs of ten degrees above average. The average high is 38º.

A significant ridge will develop with the jet stream this will allow a Southerly flow to develop ahead of the front and storm system. Very warm air will work up from the South. Rain is likely Friday and Saturday with the approaching systems. Highs will reach into the 50s!  Snow melt for sure.

If the storm on Saturday forms farther East or if the stationary front slips to our South colder air may work in changing the rain over to snow or sleet or freezing rain for a time later Saturday. This is a long shot but we have may days to look at this possible scenario.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Partly sunny, milder.  Highs in the lower 40s. West to Northwest winds at 8-12mph.

Tonight:

Mostly clear. Lows in the upper 20s in the City, the teens inland. Light Northwest winds.
