Rain Approaching

Saturday, January 18 in Floydfest

Low pressure in the great lakes region will provide us with precipitation this afternoon into the evening. Frozen precipitation is possible at the onset but looks to end quickly, as temperatures are too warm to sustain anything frozen. A cold front will press through tonight, drying us out and setting us up for the stronger cold front Sunday night. Overnight lows will be in the teens for the first few days of the work week before moderation occurs Wednesday. A warmer end to the week is on tap, with rain returning late Friday.

Discussion

Rain Approaching

Strengthening low pressure in the great lakes is to blame for our precipitation today. Previous thinking was a little heavier on the frozen precipitation, but that relied on onset earlier than what we are going to see today. Therefore, a pocket or two of sleet or freezing rain is possible, but it should be the exception, not the norm today. Temperatures will slowly rise throughout the day, peaking after sunset. Rain will end overnight, with the passage of a cold front.

A second cold front is on tap for Sunday night, which will bring us the coldest air of the season. The second front will not have much moisture associated with it, so precipitation is not expected.

The start to our work week is a cold one. More of the same Tuesday before we moderate a bit Wednesday. We finally get back to seasonal temperatures Thursday and Friday before rain develops Friday night.
