In other words, several lower-impact systems will pass by. The first one we&#8217;ll deal with is a small low pressure area moving east southeastward through our region tonight, producing a light snowfall. The next one comes along later Tuesday to early Wednesday, taking a track just north of our area. This removes the colder air aloft so that what falls occurs as rain, but cold air trapped at the ground means some of this rain can freeze on surfaces in the early hours of Wednesday &#8211; something we&#8217;ll need to pay close attention to in regards to walking and driving on untreated surfaces. It then warms sufficiently enough to eliminate the icing issue as we move through the day Wednesday, but a few additional rain and snow showers can accompany the return of colder air as the low moves away. High pressure builds in with fair and seasonably chilly weather Thursday, but the weather becomes unsettled again by later Friday as the next low pressure system races east northeastward and starts tracking northwest of our region, dragging a frontal system toward us with milder air and a rain shower chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 21-28. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts early, then diminishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Cloudy with light snow of up to 1 inch accumulation. Lows 13-20. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 31-38. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Pre-dawn light rain and away-from-coast freezing rain likely. Lows 27-34 evening, then a slow overnight rise. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light rain early. A rain or snow shower later in the day. Highs 40-47. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 20-27. Wind W 5-15 MPH.,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 35-43. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 23-30. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY: Increasing clouds. Late-day rain showers. Highs 42-49. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A stronger low pressure area cuts through the Great Lakes with mild air and rain showers here January 10. As that system moves through eastern Canada we see colder, windy, and dry weather return January 11. Watching for additional unsettled weather with potential rain\/mix\/snow in the January 12-14 period, however major storminess is not expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No significant changes to the outlook at mid month with a pattern of variable temperatures. There have been a few medium range model hints of perhaps a more important storm nearby early or mid period, but not confident this takes place. Will monitor trends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 5-9) This week&#8217;s pattern is unsettled but not stormy.
