The first few days of the new year have begun with unseasonably cold temperatures, topped off with single digit to below zero readings Thursday morning. The worst of the cold snap is behind us and we can look forward to moderating temperatures over the next several days. With low pressure crossing southern Canada and high pressure building to our south we will be in between these systems Friday. The biggest feature will be the wind as gusty breezes are once again in the forecast. This will offset the higher temperature readings as the wind still gives a blustery feel to the day.
A cold front moves through on Saturday quickly followed by a weak disturbance early Sunday. This may trigger a few snow flurries or snow showers late Saturday night and the first half of Sunday, with high temperatures hanging close to normal throughout the weekend.
High pressure builds into the region for early next week as the mercury slowly starts to climb above normal. Fair skies and dry weather are expected into the middle of next week.
