Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
Get ready for falling rain and plunging temperatures this week.
A storm system moving out of Texas will spread raining across the area beginning late Tuesday afternoon and lingering into very early on Wednesday morning.
It looks like much of the area will see anywhere from 1/4 inch to 3/4 of an inch of rain before the system moves out.
That storm system will be ushered out by a powerful Canadian cold front.
Behind that cold front frigid air moves in and it looks like it will stick around for the rest of the month!
Wednesday will be our transition day, with high temperatures only dropping a few degrees. Expect clearing skies and high temperatures in the mid-to-upper 50s.
You will definitely start to feel the chill on Thursday. Many of us will not make it out of the 40s. That’s a good 10 to 15° below normal!
And it looks like that 40-degree weather will stick with us all the way through the weekend and into at least early next week.
In fact, our coldest air of the season should move in late Sunday and into Monday.Most of us will wake up to temperatures at or even below freezing on Monday morning.
