We have rain over the region early this morning with temperatures mainly in the upper 30s, winds are light.  The only sub-freezing temperature currently in the state is 30 degrees at High Point so that is the only area that may have some winter type precipitation.

Rain will continue most of the day, there may be a brief break in the rain around midday into the early afternoon but rain will return for this evening’s rush. The rain will end this evening. Temperatures will be milder reaching the 50s.

Much colder weather will follow the storm system, our high temperature may be recorded just after midnight and not rise during the day staying in the 30s, winds gusting to 30 mph on Tuesday will make it feel much colder despite plenty of sunshine.

Near record cold early Wednesday morning as most areas will drop into the teens.

Still quite cold on Wednesday but with diminishing winds, dry weather will continue.

Not as cold on Thursday but another cold front will cross the area in the afternoon.

The front will be followed by a reinforcing surge of cold air for Friday and Saturday but the cold won’t be as harsh as the middle of this week.  Luckily it will remain dry and no snow is anticipated.

Milder weather on Sunday with a chance of showers late in the day.

Early next week looks quite mild but with chances of rain.

Clearing will take place today but it will be unseasonably cold for this time of year with highs mostly in the 40s.

Below normal temperatures will continue on the weekend with dry conditions.

Another storm system will be moving just to our east on Monday with more precipitation with heavier amounts of rain or snow starting before daybreak on Monday and ending early Tuesday morning.  Precipitation will be mainly rain in the Clifton area but several inches of snow is possible well inland, difficult to pinpoint accomulations right now as it depends on the track of the storm where the rain/snow line will set up.

Today we will see increasing clouds during the day along with chilly temperatures.

The storm system that we have been watching looks like it will be a little more robust than what was indicated yesterday and with cold air in place it is likely that we will have see our first snow of the season late tonight.  Precipitation will start out as a mix of snow and rain later this evening changing to all snow overnight, look for 1/2 an inch to an inch of snowfall by daybreak tomorrow morning,  untreated roads and sidewalks may be slippery for tomorrow morning’s commute.

Clearing during the day Friday with cold temperatures.

The weekend will be dry and continued cold.

Another storm system will likely give us more precipitation on Monday and we may see snow changing to rain and then back to snow before ending, at this time no accumulation is expected in our area but further inland may see an inch or two of snow.
