Clouds Aplenty; Most Rain SAT

Skies will be mostly cloudy today, and there could be a few spotty areas of light rain, although we’re not expecting much in the way of precipitation today. The bulk of the rain will come on Saturday, followed by a turn to a brighter, cooler Sunday. Early next week will start out quiet along with seasonable temperatures.

Forecast Discussion

A cold front will enter the area today, followed by a notable wave of low pressure riding along it on Saturday. Today’s weather features more cloudiness as a result, and maybe a little spotty light rain. The bulk of the rainfall will come with the wave-action along the front on Saturday. Saturday night will feature variable clouds and perhaps some leftover sprinkles (and higher elevation snow flurries).

A drier Canadian air mass moves in on Sunday, and it will be noticeably cooler Sunday night. Monday will feature more sunshine with fairly typical pre-Thanksgiving temperatures.

Looking ahead, a front will get through here early Wednesday with a few showers, but probably not much in the way of precipitation. Following the frontal passage, Thanksgiving Day looks partly cloudy with cool temperatures.
