The low pressure that gave us rain the past two days has moved up to eastern Canada while high pressure builds from the west. Today will be a mostly sunny day but windy with gusts up to 35 mph. Temperatures will be slightly above normal.

Another low pressure system will affect our area Monday afternoon through Tuesday, light snow will develop in the afternoon and then mix with freezing rain and sleet by evening and then to all rain on Tuesday. Very tricky forecast with snow and ice amounts depends on the exact track of the low pressure. At the present time around 1 inch of snow is possible before mixing with sleet and freezing rain, ice amounts may be significant especially further inland. The precipitation is expected to end Tuesday afternoon.

Dry weather but cold Wednesday into next weekend with Thursday being the coldest day with high temperatures staying below freezing.
