WX Summary through Friday

First of all, with high pressure moving in, expect tonight to be cold with lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s. SW winds will pick up later on, but will likely be too late to prevent an extended period of radiational cooling. The only thing that would moderate temperatures overnight would be clouds moving in early. 

Tuesday: increasing cloudiness. A surface low will form over the southeast and eventually track up the southeast coast. Don't expect much more than some drizzle or a sprinkle tomorrow afternoon. The airmass is very dry and it may take a while for any precipitation to reach the ground. Tuesday night, as the low develops and moves off the coast, rain will be prevalent mostly east of the triangle with places west receiving little to no rain. As cold air moves in and pushes the low pressure system out very early Wednesday, it will not be out of the question to see some wet snowflakes before the precipitation exits the area, but even those chances are slim. 

Wednesday: cold air will pour in from the NW on the heels of exiting precipitation. Expect temps to be 30s N to 40s S. Wednesday night, lows in the mid to lower 20s.

Thursday: highs in the upper 40s N to mid 50s S.

Friday into Saturday: Forecast confidence is still low concerning potential p-type issues with a system moving through the area during this timeframe. There is little continuity between model runs and the system in question is still over an area of the eastern Pacific where data sampling is sparse. The development of the system also depends on "timing/phasing with the northern [jet] stream energy."

More on the weekend and early next week as the week progresses. There are still a lot of unknowns involving potential systems.
