Chilly Sunshine For The 2nd Half Of The Weekend…We’ll enjoy sunshine as we progress through the second half of the weekend. While we’ll remain colder than normal (average high is in the lower/ middle 50s), it won’t be nearly as cold as what’s in store moving forward this week.  The early November sunshine should help lead to a relatively nice day- just grab the jacket!

Briefly Milder Southwesterly Air Flow…We’ll be under the influence of a southwesterly air flow Monday out ahead of an approaching arctic cold front. Though it’ll be mild and the day will feature sunshine, anticipate a strong southwest wind developing by the afternoon.

Arctic Slide…Our long advertised arctic cold front will push through the region Tuesday evening. Out ahead of the front, showers and gusty winds can be expected. Temperatures will begin the downward spiral Tuesday night leading to a frigid and true winter feel for the remainder of the work week- some 20 degrees + below average!  Stock up the wood pile and plan to bring the heavier winter gear out as both will be needed.

Wintry Event In The Cards…Our mid range computer models continue to hint at the first true accumulating snow event potentially in our future next weekend. As for now we’ll note increasingly cloudy skies Saturday and introduce light snow into the forecast Saturday night. We caution there’s still a long way to go and much fine tuning will have to be done between now and then.  That said, the pattern is loaded and will result in lots of wintry “fun and games” in the weeks ahead.  If you’re a winter fan, this is the pattern for you.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

• 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10″ – 0.25″
• 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Dusting

Damp, Windy, And Colder…Showers will move through the region today, especially north of I-70.  Along with periods of damp weather, expect strong and gusty north winds developing this afternoon coupled with colder air moving in.  Wind chills will slip into the 20s as winds gust between 30-40 MPH this evening.  A few flurries may fly later this evening as the cold air works in.

We’ll wrap up the work week with brighter skies and continued cold conditions.  Temperatures will run close to 10 degrees below normal Friday.

Another Fast-Moving System…Our next weather maker will deliver gusty showers as early as Saturday morning and these showers may mix with and change to light snow showers before ending Saturday evening.  We’ll clear things out, but remain well below normal Sunday.  All-in-all, a cold weekend is in store!

Briefly Milder Before The Arctic Plunge…A brief, but nice southwesterly air flow will bump temperatures into the middle and upper 50s Monday with sunshine, but this will come at a cost and that’s an impressive arctic intrusion by the middle of next week. Additionally, we may deal with a rain-to-snow situation ahead of the push of arctic air.  The big story by the middle part of next week will be a wintry feel!  Hope the wood pile is stocked!
