Scattered showers today…rain on Thursday, Nor’Easter on Sunday?

Current Weather Map
Scattered light showers associated with weak low pressure will continue to move through the area today as temperatures rise to near 50 degrees this afternoon. Skies will begin to clear tomorrow, allowing for some sunshine and high temperatures into the mid 50s.

Skies will cloud up again tomorrow night as an area of low pressure and a cold front move in, bringing a steadier rain on Thursday. That frontal passage will bring in cooler air for the weekend, with highs in the low to mid 40s on both Saturday and Sunday, and that is when things may get interesting.

From the NWS:

SECONDARY CUTOFF LOW OVER FAR NWRN MEXICO LATE NEXT WEEK LOOKS TO TAKE A GULF OF MEXICO TRACK…REACHING THE SERN CONUS BY LATE SATURDAY. NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH IN PLACE ACROSS SERN CANADA. INGREDIENTS ARE THERE FOR A NOR`EASTER…WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE FOR INTENSITY AND LOCATION. THE 00Z ECMWF DEVELOPS A NICE LOW ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST EARLY SUNDAY WHILE THE 00Z GFS IS FARTHER SOUTH.

Certainly nothing to be concerned about at this time, but as the National Weather Service said, the ingredients are there for a possible Nor’Easter to affect the area on Sunday or Monday.
