BLOG: Minor Inconvenience

After a few showers early Sunday morning, dry weather will be the story over the next several days as there doesn't appear to be any discernible feature of interest to move through the area. That said, a frontal passage on Tuesday will bring a subtle increase in clouds, but precip chances are no better than 10 percent or so Tuesday afternoon and evening.

Temperatures through Tuesday will be above normal (no surprise there) as high pressure moves across Virginia and drift offshore on Monday. With that will come a shift in mid-level winds from the north and northwest to more westerly/southwesterly, promoting more warmth. By Wednesday we may finally have some sort of meaningful weather feature to contend with as an upper-level low currently over Utah finally opens up and gets pulled eastward. With the approach of this energy we will see an increase in clouds with a little rain or snow expected late Wednesday or (more likely at this point) Wednesday night. What could complicate this is a separate disturbance currently over the Canadian arctic. This feature is expected to drop southward into the Plains and slide eastward Wednesday into Thursday... and depending on the track and intensity of this disturbance it may act to push the lead disturbance (the one over Utah right now) on a more southerly course. We'll see how this all plays out, but we're looking at a low chance for a little rain and snow from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday.
