YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, after a gusty night, we’ll still see some west-northwest wind gusts of 25-35mph today, but they will slacken by tonight.
Otherwise, high pressure is building into our region, supporting fair weather and sunny skies with highs in the mid teens to mid 20s, and corresponding wind chills down into the single digits to teens. With lows tonight in the single digits above and below zero, a very wintry 24 hours will move through our lives.
For Monday, expect more sunshine as high pressure moves in, which means less wind. Highs will reach the mid 20s to low 30s, with lows in the teens.
Milder air will continue to pump into the region on Tuesday, with more moisture to produce partly sunny skies and highs in the 40s as high pressure passes east of the Mid-Atlantic coastline.
Clouds will thicken Tuesday night with lows in the mid 30s, and we can’t rule out a shower by Wednesday morning.
The timing of when a warm front will float our first bout of rain showers into our region on Wednesday is still up in the air, but for now I would assume first showers will arrive sometime between 10am to 3pm, and I will refine/modify that we get closer.
Wednesday afternoon looks quite mild with highs in the 50s, and the afternoon, night and Thursday morning period looks quite rainy, with potential for stronger southwest wind gusts as a low-level jet streak works through the region overhead.
With very mild temps in place at the surface could more readily allow winds to mix down to our neighborhoods and tree canopies.
Rain should abate sometime on Thursday with mild temps early, but a cold front will swing through the region by Thursday night and turn us cooler, and introduce the potential for strong northwest wind gusts on Friday that may prompt wind headlines from the NWS.
After that, a week Clipper system with mixed precip is possible, but the window is rapidly closing for a final bigger winter storm into mid-March, which seems unlikely at the time of this writing.
Have a great day, and if you find my hyperlocal and interactive reporting work is helpful to you, you be one of the rare few to help support it through 2025… thank you so much for your readership and support, Dave Hayes.
