Cool and Windy Today But a Dry Weekend

Today will be cool and windy and there will be a few snow flurries flying around early. The winds die down a little tomorrow and it remains cool but there will be lots of sunshine. Sunday looks like the pick of the litter for the weekend with light winds, sunny skies and near average temperatures.

We turn colder Monday night as some light rain moves in. There could be some light snow up top Tuesday morning. Tuesday and Wednesday look to be on the chilly side but dry. We should warm up late in the week.

Forecast Discussion

A strong low pressure off the Delaware coast will usher in colder air and gusty winds today. Radar shows a few snow flurries and light rain showers moving through this morning. A cold front will move in from the northwest later today reinforcing the colder air. High pressure controls our weather through Monday morning. It will remain cool and a bit windy Saturday but the winds lighten up and turn southerly Sunday which should bring us a very nice day.

A cold front from the north will move through Monday afternoon and the air behind this front is cold for this time of year. Light rain develops Monday night behind the front and there could be enough cold air by Tuesday morning that the higher elevations could see some light snow. Tuesday and Wednesday look to be cold and dry days as of now. A low pressure should form along the SC coast Tuesday and indications are it will scoot out to sea and leave us dry. However, the low that formed along the Southeast coast yesterday and brought all the rain and high elevation snow was forecast to scoot out to sea 4 to 5 days ago and we see how that turned out. We'll keep an eye on this for you.
