Sunny skies and cool temps this morning will give way to cloudier skies and milder temps this afternoon. Our roller coaster weather pattern continues with weak, fast-moving systems cruising through just about every other day. Look for highs to range from right around freezing in the mountains, to right around 40 in the south. We’ll stay mostly dry today, but a few late afternoon or evening showers can’t be ruled out, especially in the mountains. As southerly winds develop, ocean moisture may help drive some patchy drizzle and fog, especially along the midcoast, though no major impacts are expected.
Today will feature increased cloudiness as well as the chance for rain and snow showers due to a cold front moving through the area. Precipitation chances will be greatest in the mountains, as downsloping winds along the coastal plain will rob the front of its already limited moisture supply. However, even parts of the coastline could see a brief shower, the timing for which would be midday. Those downsloping winds may also bring sunny breaks to the coastline, especially in the afternoon as the front moves offshore. High temperatures ahead of the front will be quite warm as southwesterly winds continue this morning. Midday temps will range from around 40 in the north to around 50 in the south, before cooling begins behind the front.
Today will feature a continuation of our recent downward trend in temperatures as another cold front has just moved offshore. Highs will range from the upper 20’s north to the mid 30’s south. Morning clouds will clear out along the coast as downsloping NW winds get a boost from the front. In the mountains, NW winds will be forced upslope, resulting in clouds and continued snow showers. Occasionally, some of those snow showers could drift southeast resulting in briefly reduced visibility, even along the coastal plain.
You’ll notice two big things about today’s weather as you head outside. First, it will be fairly mild, especially once the sun has some time to warm us up. Second, you’ll be able to identify the reason for the warmth: a steady southwest breeze. A cold front is located to our west this morning, meaning that we’re on the warm side. As a result, look for temps to rise into the mid 40’s north and low 50’s south. Southwest winds will be responsible for this warmth, and they will occasionally gust to 30 mph, thankfully not enough to cause major issues. Skies will start sunny but clouds will increase this afternoon as what little moisture there is associated with the front moves closer.
We have another mild and mostly dry day on tap today as high pressure slides slowly overhead. High temperatures will range from the mid 30’s in the north to the mid 40’s in the south. Skies will start sunny, but expect high clouds to be moving in this afternoon as a weak disturbance drifts by to our north. That disturbance could bring enough lift to trigger a flurry in the north, but otherwise we’ll remain dry.
Today will feature cool temps and clear skies as high pressure builds in behind yesterday’s storm system. Look for highs to range from the mid 20’s in the north to the upper 30’s in the south as temperatures respond to the upslope/downslope pattern brought by northwest winds. Skies will be mostly sunny, especially downwind of the mountains, with just a few upslope clouds in the higher terrain.
Today will feature warm temperatures and developing precipitation as a coastal storm tries to organize itself to our south. Temperatures will be on the warmer side today as a cold front is located to our west. Highs will range from 40 inland to 45 along the coast. Temperatures will begin to drop this afternoon as the coastal storm develops, and as a result, mountain locations will see a change from rain to snow with light accumulations in the higher terrain. The rest of the area will see rain beginning this morning and continuing through this afternoon.
Today will feature cold and breezy conditions as high pressure builds in on the back side of yesterday’s strong cold front. Look for highs to range from the low 20’s in the mountains to the low 30’s along the coast. Skies will be sunny for the vast majority of the area, the exception being a few locations near the higher mountain peaks where the last bit of moisture left in the air will be squeezed out by upslope flow in the form of flurries.
I’ll be up in those mountains again tonight, so will be off the grid tomorrow morning. Here’s tomorrow’s forecast.
