The week starts off with a thaw from the Arctic cold we experienced over the weekend. We settle into a familiar pattern of a warm front then cold front passage that will see temperatures swing up into the low-60s mid-week before dropping back to seasonable levels towards the late week period.4

Rest of today – mostly sunny, with winds now shifting to the south, high temperatures should reach into the low-40s.

Tuesday – much warmer with high temperatures in the mid-50s, mostly cloudy with a chance for rain due to a cold front approaching. Rain chances increase heading towards the overnight hours.

Wednesday – rain tapering off early, then conditions improving to mostly sunny. High temperatures still forecast to reach the low-60s before the cold front actually passes through.

Thursday – temperatures fall back into the mid-upper 40s behind the cold front with mostly sunny skies.

Return to Normal Temperatures to Last

Looking ahead, it appears in the medium term that temperatures will moderate into seasonable mid-40s or lower and stay that way until late in the month. We could see a couple more shots at accumulating snow during this stretch.
