A soggy and messy start to the week will give way to a blast of Arctic air, leading to an extended period of below normal high temperatures only in the 30s for the most part. Temperatures do look to rebound over the weekend towards more seasonable levels. The next chance for precipitation happens Wednesday as an arctic front, harbinger of these much colder temperatures, crosses the area and brings possible snow squalls.

Rest of today – periods of rain during the day with high temperatures in the mid-30s. Rain tapers off and ends early this evening as the low pressure responsible for the stormy conditions moves off to the east. Overnight lows drop to around 30°F.

Wednesday – should be a mostly sunny day, though as an arctic front hits us late in the day and in the early evening, a few snow squalls/snow bands could hit. These would be brief in nature but could impinge on visibility, making travel difficult. High temperatures should be similar to today in the mid-30s. Overnight lows will plummet quickly into the upper-teens with an Arctic air mass and northwesterly flow.

Thursday – northwesterly flow continues as strong Arctic high pressure builds. This will keep temperatures only in the upper-20s for highs under mostly sunny skies. Overnight lows in the low-20s.

Friday – temperatures moderate a little bit, with highs in the low-30s as the high starts moving east. Overnight lows in the low-20s.
