Highlights:
- Freezing Fog
- Tracking Two Upper Air Disturbances
- Mild Finish To Next Week
In the short-term, “dirty” high pressure will remain in control of our weather as we welcome in the weekend. We label this a “dirty” high as a local inversion has resulted in plenty of low clouds and fog over the past couple days, despite high pressure being overhead. Unfortunately, the weekend will get off to a similar gloomy, foggy start. With temperatures below freezing overnight and Saturday morning, areas of freezing fog can once again be anticipated. Take it slow if you must be out and about early Saturday. We keep our fingers crossed that we’ll be able to mix things up just enough to allow for at least some sunshine come afternoon.
The upcoming week will feature two upper air disturbances tracking across the state. One comes Monday and the second arrives Wednesday. Both will offer up an increase in cloudiness and a light shower chance.
