The disturbance that gave us light snow early this morning is moving offshore. Skies will clear by this afternoon but it will be quite windy with gusts to near 40 mph from the northwest. High temperatures will be near seasonable levels with readings in the mid 40s.

Wednesday will be a mostly sunny day but it will remain breezy as low pressure will be offshore and high pressure builds into our area from the Great Lakes.

Dry with near seasonable temperatures Thursday into the day on Friday as high pressure will be in our area, we will also have less wind.

A low pressure area will likely give us rain Friday night through Saturday which may change to snow Saturday night before ending.

At this point Sunday looks dry and breezy with continued near seasonable temperatures.

The latest European computer model is indicating a very strong low pressure in our area for next Tuesday that may give us significant snow.
