First off, Happy New Year! 2024 has started the way that 2023 ended. Cold and dreary with some isolated showers and flurries. There is some good news for the rest of the week ahead.
Overnight we will stay clouds as temperatures dip back into the upper 20s. Look for a low temperature around 27°. The issue will be that we have a west wind at 5 to 10 which will drop the wind chill to 21° to start the day. For those who return to work or school on Tuesday, you'll need to be bundled up getting out the door.
High pressure will move in and hold steady over the Tri-State through Wednesday giving us several dry and mostly sunny days in a row. This will be a nice change of pace after so many dreary days. Temperatures will be nearly seasonal as well into the low 40s. There is a quick system late Wednesday night that could pass to our north, which may also bring a chance at some snow flurries late Wednesday. From there we are quiet until the weekend.
This is your 9 FIRST WARNING that this weekend will be one to keep a close eye on, specifically Saturday. You are likely going to start hearing about measurable snow for Saturday and Sunday on social media, if you haven't already. Don't buy too much into that hype just yet because it is still 120+ hours away. Our team is watching it and will let you know how this one is going to play out as we see more consistency in the days ahead. If you are traveling this weekend, it's certainly something to consider.
Here's what we know about the weekend system. There's a strong low pressure system that will moving in from the southwest. The main variable will be the track of the low and which direction it heads. The further north it is, the more likely we are to see rain, the further south it is, this would put us potentially in the shield of snow on Saturday. However, we will be very close to the transition line. Also, some models are now taking it even further to the southeast. Again, it is way too early to discuss snow totals and expectations, but be aware that some areas could see some accumulation.
