Finally Some Winter

Morning cloudiness yielded to bright sunshine, and high temperatures were fairly close to normal for this time in January. Colder air is poised to invade with force tonight, and will keep us shivering through Tuesday. Temperatures moderate for Wednesday and Thursday, and then rain returns to conclude the workweek.

Forecast Discussion

A cold front has exited and clouds escaped with the front this morning. Skies turned sunny with seasonal temperatures. Cold air lags the front a ways and will be arriving with fortitude tonight. Monday and Tuesday will be the coldest days this week with temperatures running a solid 10-degrees below normal.

Moderation commences for midweek as high pressure moves overhead and begins to lose its Arctic properties.

Clouds return by late Thursday or Thursday night, as low-presure takes shape over the Mid-South by Friday morning. Rain will overspread the area on Friday. With a bit of luck, we’ll get most of the rain out of here in time for next weekend.
