High pressure overhead will slide off the coast today. As it does, southerly flow will develop bringing in warmer air to end the week and into the weekend.

Today will be mostly sunny with highs around 30.

Tomorrow will be partly sunny with highs in the low to mid 40s.

Saturday will feature more clouds than sun as a cold front approaches from the west. Highs will be in the mid 40s.

Sunday will be even warmer, with highs in the upper 40s. There is a slight chance of showers as the front pushes through Sunday afternoon and evening.

A weak area of low pressure may form along the front and move by to our south on Monday. Right now it appears it will not bring any precip into our area but if it forms earlier and ends up a little further north, we could see some light rain or snow on Monday. Highs will be in the upper 30s.

A stronger storm system looks to affect the area Tuesday into Wednesday. An area of low pressure will likely move to our northwest, putting us on the warm side of the storm. At the surface, a cold air damming situation may form, which would support a wintry mix Tuesday evening into Wednesday. The details of this storm will be worked out over the next few days.

The weather pattern is shifting to one that will push the bitter cold back northward while also allowing the subtropical jet to shift northward and bring more moisture and energy. This pattern supports an active period with systems that form further south, along the gulf coast that may bring more precipitation to the east coast.
