Good afternoon! Through the weekend we’ll see a partly to mostly sunny sky with seasonable temperatures & light winds as surface high pressure is in control across the region. A passing flurry can’t be ruled out early tomorrow morning as some energy moves out of the eastern Great Lakes. Clouds increase Sunday night as our storm system passes by well to our south & some energy passes by to our north. Next week features more clouds than sun with the pattern becoming more active by mid week as weak systems move out of the Great Lakes as well as a nice thaw.
Quiet weather prevails through the week as we watch a system developing over the Southeast late-week and heading through the Mid-Atlantic on Sunday; this will have minimal northward reach, though it may be helped by an upper-level low tracking to our north, which will draw up enough moisture for at least a few rain or snow showers. The impact at this point looks minimal, and another system into next week looks the same.
Most days will feature temperatures at or above freezing through the rest of the month, which with minimal new snow coming into the system, will slowly erode the existing snowpack at a slow rate.
Good afternoon! Through the weekend no big storms are expected as the pattern is fast moving across this part of the world. Surface high pressure keeps us settled through late tomorrow afternoon. A weak storm system & warm front moving out of the Great Lakes tomorrow night offers us light sleet & snow which last through the predawn hours Wednesday. Up to a coating of snow & sleet is forecasted. Temperatures moderate to near normal for mid week onward. There is the potential for a storm system to impact the region by Sunday into Monday.
Good afternoon! No big storms are in sight for at least the next week as the pattern remains fast moving across this part of the world. Temperatures remain a tad below normal this afternoon with a more robust shot of cold air by tomorrow afternoon arriving from central & northern Canada as part of the Polar Vortex moves by overhead and some energy moves through from the eastern Great Lakes offering light snow late this evening through tomorrow late afternoon. The bulk of snow moves overnight with 1-2″ forecasted. Dangerous windchills of -15 to -25 are expected tomorrow night & Sunday night. Seasonable temperatures are expected by mid next week as a pattern change occurs across North America. A weak storm system moving through from the Great Lakes Wednesday looks to offer a mix of rain & snow showers.
High pressure is in control across the Northeast; it hasn’t shaken all of the clouds and it certainly hasn’t allowed for too much warming, but it’s set up some decent weather. A new Arctic cold front has begun digging into the Plains – but we’re seeing its true Arctic nature yet; in fact just as quickly as cold air drops in across the Northern Plains, it begins retreating as warm air builds northward. The deepening low will move eastward and it crosses the Great Lakes, a tightening wind field and the Arctic air will expand behind it, and as it gets here by Friday, we’ll see both impacts – cold and wind, which will mean biting wind chills as temperatures fall on Saturday. The storm sets up a bit of a block for the Eastern US, so that warm-up in the Plains will get stopped in its tracks.
Snow won’t be a major piece of this storm; in fact, most of the accumulating snow likely falls within a few hours early Saturday right along the front with lighter snow showers lingering from there. There will be a slow warmup into the middle of next week, but it will be cut short as another cold front moves across the Northeast Wednesday.
Good afternoon! We are settled through the start of next week thanks to surface high pressure being in charge across the region & almost the entire US. Temperatures remain a bit below normal through Friday with a more robust shot of cold air by Sunday arriving from central & northern Canada as part of the Polar Vortex moves by overhead and some energy moves through from southern Ontario. There is the potential for dangerous windchills Saturday with windchills as low as -20. No big storms are in sight!
Good afternoon! Surface high pressure from coast to coast provides us with plenty of sun today & tomorrow with continued well below normal temperatures. Windchills as low as -15 are forecasted are expected tomorrow morning! Our storm system passes well to our southeast Sunday offering us a very low risk of a few flurries along with a gusty north wind up to 35 mph. Next week features varying cloud cover with less cold high temperatures, but still a bit below normal by around 10 degrees.

There is a lot of cloud cover around the northeast, but not necessarily a lot of precipitation; it’s mainly lake-driven snow showers close to the Great Lakes, with some of the weak disturbances moving through the broad upper-level trough picking up just enough of that moisture to trigger a flurry or two. None of this will produce significant snow.
We’ll be watching a system near the coast this weekend; it develops off the Carolina coast Friday then lifts northward, and our expectation is it will move primarily offshore. Even so, it will have an expansive enough wind field to kick up northerly winds into the 10-20 mph range with gusts 25-30 so Sunday, with little more than an inch or two of snow. Generally dry weather prevails right through the first third of February – but we can thank a persistent Arctic airmass to our north for providing the block.
