Good Weather For President's Day

A large area of high pressure is centered just off to our east.  Skies will be mostly clear tonight, with just high thin cirrus moving in from the west later on tonight, and winds will be light with temperatures dropping off to near 20 degrees by daybreak. It will be mostly sunny in the morning on Monday as the high shifts further off to the east. The winds will pick up, and become breezy from the south to southeast at 10 to 20 mph by the mid day hours. It will become partly cloudy in the afternoon as a low pressure system over the plains begins to pull moisture into the mid west, and the high temperature will reach the middle 40's. The system will move into the area on Monday night. Some scattered light rain showers or sprinkles may develop before midnight. Colder air will move in after midnight, and light snow will develop, but little accumulation is expected. The low temperature will be in the low 30's. There could be some lingering light snow in the morning. With temperatures rising into the low 40's in the afternoon, any persistent precipitation will change over to scattered light rain showers.  It will be partly cloudy on Tuesday night with a low around 30 degrees. A series of disturbances will move quickly across the area from mid and late week. The next one could cause some widely scattered light rain showers on Wednesday. There could be some rain and snow mixed on Wednesday night and Thursday. It will get a little colder, and there will be a chance of light snow on Thursday night and Friday. Little if any accumulation is expected. Saturday will be partly cloudy with a high around 34 degrees, and Sunday will be mostly cloudy with temperatures recovering to near 40 by afternoon.
