A strong low pressure over eastern parts of Canada along with high pressure building from the west will give us a strong westerly flow of quite cold air today. Winds will gust to near 45 mph and a wind advisory continues in effect. We should have partly sunny skies.
Wednesday will still be breezy as the Canadian low pressure moves slowly away. Winds will gust to around 25 mph. A weak cold front may cause some light snow Wednesday night with accumulations from a dusting to maybe 1/2″.
Continued quite cold New Year’s Day through the weekend and we should remain dry but with less wind.
A weak clipper system may touch off some light snow on Monday.
