Well Below Average Temps Through Tuesday

Good afternoon! It's been a chilly start and there won't be much change tomorrow either. Looking at the latest 24-hour temperature map, dark blues indicate temperatures on a magnitude of 10 to 15 degrees cooler than this time yesterday. With the passage of the cold front, below average temperatures can be expected through Wednesday morning.

Looking at those temperatures outside, many are struggling to top 40 degrees as of 12:30 pm. With low clouds slow to thin out, it has been hard to warm up. Fortunately, the last of low clouds are almost out, allowing for a few hours of sunshine before we drop into the low and mid 20s overnight. In fact, some areas could bottom out in the teens.

Similar to today, highs tomorrow are expected to remain below average. Comparing potential temperatures to typical late November highs, we are expecting values 10 to 15 degrees below average. Highs Tuesday should top out in the low to mid 40s, with even colder overnight lows Tuesday into Wednesday. Lows Tuesday night will generally fall into the teens and low 20s area-wide. Bundle up the next few days!

The good news is after tomorrow, we'll begin warming back up towards average. Highs Wednesday should find the lower 50s, improving to the mid 50s on Thursday. A late week disturbance will then look to bring the return of showers, which last into the weekend. Timing for rainfall will generally come late Thursday night and lingering at times through Friday night/Saturday morning. A healthy shot at rainfall (still much needed) is expected.
