The pattern has been volatile of late, and will continue. We’ve seen some wild temperature swings, some snow, some rain, some wind, and even some lightning and thunder. This coming week will feature a lesser version of volatility, still changing, with a trend toward colder weather and possible snow threats, something that we would expect for January.<\/p>\n
It starts out with a mild and breezy but dry Monday as high pressure passes to the south and low pressure well north of the region moves away. A trough of low pressure from the west will bring some wet weather in for Tuesday, but mild air means rain versus snow. As we get into the middle of the week through the coming weekend, a series of smaller troughs will start to re-carve a larger scale trough of low pressure in the east, meaning that we’ll see a trend to colder and somewhat unsettled weather. Lingering mild air Wednesday would make any showers in the form of rain, though there may not be all that much around. By Thursday and into the weekend, it should be cold enough for snow in most areas, and there will indeed be two threats, depending on the development and movement of potential low pressure areas near the East Coast. Target times for these threats based on current timing would be Thursday and again Friday night into Saturday. By Sunday, it may be turning quite cold as one of a series of Arctic boundaries moves into the region.<\/p>\n
