The first half of last week’s forecast played out as expected, with plenty of warm weather late in the week followed by some stormy weather over the weekend. Cool weather then moved in at the start of this week. Unfortunately — or fortunately, for those who like it a little cooler — it looks like this cool weather pattern will stick around a little longer than first expected.
This forecast period will begin with a fairly strong area of low pressure tracking by to our southeast. It should be far enough to our south and east that only far-eastern areas will see a few clouds. For the rest of the region, Wednesday should have nice sunny skies, along with daytime highs in the low 20s. Temperatures will warm up a bit on Thursday and Friday as an area of low pressure develops to our west. This low is forecast to strengthen and begin pushing into our region sometime Friday. We’ll see increasing clouds on Friday with showers and thundershowers developing late in the day and continuing on Saturday as the low pushes through. There is a chance that we may see a period of steady rain on Saturday, depending on how strong this low gets.
