This cool and unsettled pattern will continue

 A cool and unsettled weather pattern will continue through next week, with the threat of rain showers below average temperatures.

Surface chart and radar






We can see the cold front passing through the region with a few scattered showers and higher elevation snow showers along with some lake enhanced snow falling downwind of the Great Lakes. Head of the front winds will be generally out of the south west 5-15 mph, behind the front winds will be out of the northwest at around 5 to 20 with gusts to 30 MPH.  Our temperatures will be running below average across the region. The cold front will finish swinging through tonight, and a trough will hang around keeping things very cool and a bit unsettled.  If you have any outdoor plants, make sure you protect them.

Tomorrow we will have high pressure setting overhead, producing scattered clouds that will thicken up during the day.  Winds will be light and variable becoming a bit gustier during the day. There will be sprinkles and scattered light rain showers in the afternoon lasting during the evening and overnight as a warm front approaches and moves through. Temperatures will become a bit warmer later in the day.

The pattern will be active and rather unsettled as a series of cold fronts move across the region.

 For Wednesday we will see an area of low pressure with a cold front approach and produce scattered showers.  Temperatures will remain seasonally chilly. Then for Thursday high pressure will again move in overhead, with temperatures near seasonal. Friday will see a developing low pressure frontal system approach.  We could see a few rain showers later in the day into Friday night along a warm front. The warm front will continue to move through the region into Saturday. Then we will see the low pressure move through with a cold front for late Saturday through Sunday. This will bring scattered showers across the region. Temperatures will cool off for Monday as high pressure move back in.
