Unfortunately, the unseasonable warmth from last week is long gone as the afternoon high Saturday afternoon only made it back into the 20s with a cold Westerly breeze. Stronger winds will be possible Sunday as a strong arctic high pressure develops across the Northern Plains. We will be sandwiched between that high pressure and an equally strong low pressure developing off the East Coast.
That difference in pressure, or pressure gradient, will funnel Northwesterly winds our direction Sunday with gusts approaching 25-35 mph at times. Monday will see winds ease up a bit to 15-25 mph gusts from the North with higher pressure moving overhead. Tuesday flips the wind direction around to the Southwest with a passing weather system.
Northerly winds Sunday and Monday will again keep temperatures suppressed in the 20s. A Southwest Wind brings near 40° highs back for Tuesday and Wednesday before another drop mid-week.
A few passing flurries may try to fly from time-to-time Saturday night into Sunday morning, but higher chances for precipitation arrive Tuesday with a passing clipper system. That will develop a chance for rain and snow showers along the passing cold front that afternoon. Another chance for snow may arrive Wednesday night into Thursday with another low pressure system, but there are still many potential scenarios that could play out with this system.
