We Have Some Active Weather Ahead of Us

After a brief reprieve from the thick cloud cover this morning, the altostratus clouds are back to make for an overcast sky. If the cloud cover didn't get your spirits down today, perhaps the high winds did. Winds out the southwest were blowing at 15-30 mph throughout the day. Currently, we are experiencing SW winds of 4.5 mph, gusting at 12.1 mph.

As the winds and cloud cover lessen tonight, temperatures are expected to dip down to below freezing. This may leave your melt-water-covered driveways slick in the morning.

Currently, the dew point is 27 degrees F and the barometric pressure is 29.87 in Hg and rising. The rising barometric pressure is due to the low pressure system moving out of our area. The relative humidity is 60%. The current temperature is 39 degrees F with a wind chill of 31 degrees F.

We can look forward to a day break from the sloppy weather. Enjoy the break, because Wednesday will bring us some April showers and possibly some thunderstorms. This will be due to a low pressure air mass moving into the area. Colder air will filter in as the system continues, bringing a wintery mix of rain, sleet, and snow precipitation Thursday and the potential for snow accumulation on Friday. The moist air will move out of the area by Saturday, but it is looking like an active next week as well as another low pressure air mass enters the area. It's too early to tell the kind of precipitation we will see next week, but know that we are still receiving cold Canadian air, meaning that snow could be in the cards.
