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.
