The week ahead: A roller coaster

Some of you might have seen a few wet snowflakes during the evening and overnight. That was a passing weak disturbance that had marginally cold air to work with.

The next couple of days will be pretty mild with temperatures in the 50s, maybe pushing 60. Rain will be moving in on Tuesday as the strong low pressure system takes shape to our west and moves into the Ohio Valley.

Wednesday and Thursday will turn blustery and cold as this system moves by, dragging a cold front through, then as the low re-forms off the Atlantic coast of New England. We'll get a couple of days of wintry winds and probably quite a few snow showers, the kind that accumulate in the mountains of West Virginia but just make things seem a little more wintry over on this side of the Appalachian spine.

So the temperatures will go up, then down, this week, before steadily climbing again next weekend.
