Good evening, folks. Our snow pack is slowly melting and that’s a sign of things to come for the weekend. A much milder pattern is moving in and will soon touch off some showers. This is all part of a much milder and more active pattern taking shape for the rest of January.

Your weekend will feature highs in the 40s for Saturday, with some 50s showing up on Sunday. Clouds will be on the increase, with isolated showers on Saturday. Sunday will feature a few showers, but isn’t looking like a washout. Winds are going to be rather gusty during this time.

The actual cold front moves in on Monday with an increase in rain from west to east…

Colder air comes in behind that for Monday night and Tuesday, and could bring a few flakes in here…

That’s not a very cold air mass and will quickly moderate by the middle and end of next week. Southwesterly winds likely boost temps well into the 50s again, ahead of another big storm system. This one may have some decent rains with it, and also have colder air coming in behind it…

Even in the midst of a milder pattern, you can get some winter weather and that’s certainly possible with that storm system.

Enjoy your Friday evening and take care.
