Cloudy Start to the Week

After a grey and gloomy weekend, cloud cover sticks around again today. A quick wave of upper level energy will bring a slight chance at a few afternoon sprinkles keeping highs in the upper 30s and low 40s.



We'll see some clearing overnight with lows in the upper 20s and low 30s. Tuesday will finally bring back the sun as southerly winds warm us into the upper 40s. Wednesday will see above average highs in the mid to upper 40s but a low pressure system moving in will bring big changes by the end of the week. We'll start with a good chance of rain on Wednesday night.


As a cold front pushes through overnight, cold air will help switch precipitation to snow. Scattered snow showers will continue on Thursday. Accumulations could be as high as 1-2". There is still some uncertainty as to the track of of the low pressure center, so keep with WMBD 31 weather for updates through the week.


Behind the storm system will clear things out into the weekend. Look for sunshine, but cool low 30s through the weekend. Our first look at Christmas is looking normal for this time of year. Next Tuesday will bring partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid 30s.
