Next system approaching...

Here is today's edition of the video.



Clouds will be on the increase today as our next system approaches. Some mainly light rain will spread into the region from southwest to northeast later this afternoon and evening, then I expect rain at times tonight and tomorrow.

Sunday will feature a pronounced cold air damming scenario, and it looks quite chilly and damp. Temps in the favored CAD areas will likely struggle to make it to 40 or so under an overcast sky with drizzle and light rain at times.

Active pattern...

Another system will swing through Monday with another one likely late next work week. There is a lot of disagreement on the system later next week with the modeling, with anything from a severe weather setup to cool rains being indicated. See the video for more on this.

Long-range....

I continue to see some signs of a change to a more favorable pattern for Winter weather lovers as we head into February. I am still not ready to commit to anything though. Hopefully I can make more firm pattern forecast ideas as we get into next week.
