Forecast Discussion
High pressure will take control of our weather Friday through Saturday with more sun and pleasant weather--the nicest couple days maybe going all the way back to November. Enjoy!!
The next front looks a slower than we thought previously. It will stretch from New England to St. Louis and south along the Mississippi River by sunset Saturday. Our weather will be dry through Saturday night and into Sunday morning. Showers develop by Sunday afternoon and last through Sunday night.
Colder air will wrap in behind the front as an upper-level low moves over us late Monday. We can expect falling temperatures Monday with rain showers changing to snow showers or flurries and blustery conditions. Cold, snow shower/flurries, and blustery weather will continue Monday night.
The system will exit to our northeast Tuesday. After morning drizzle or snizzle Tuesday, we should see some sun by late afternoon with moderating temperatures. Temperatures will be above normal Wednesday--very nice again.
