A brisk north wind Monday not only kept temperatures nearly 10-15 degrees below the early April average of 56, but it also provided a few widely scattered snow flurries throughout the afternoon. While impacts from any precipitation will remain minimal, the scattered precipitation will continue through sunset. After that, high pressure moves in which will help clear our skies and allow overnight lows to fall into the low 20s.
High pressure will remain in control through Tuesday ahead of our next weather-maker which is forecast to move in late Tuesday night and Wednesday. Again, this could bring us the chance for some wintry precipitation to start and end Wednesday. In between comes the chance for scattered rain showers throughout the afternoon.
The high temperature Wednesday will depend on just how strong an area of low pressure will be, passing to the south during the afternoon. A more well-defined low-pressure system could help pull in a little cooler air aloft, holding on to the chance for a rain/snow mix during the afternoon. A less defined low-pressure system will allow temperatures to warm slightly, but an east wind will keep highs below average.
The chance for a rain/snow mix will continue into Wednesday evening with scattered rain showers lasting into Thursday. Highs Thursday will warm close to 50 degrees.
