1/8 – Rob’s “Gloomy” Monday Afternoon Forecast

After moderate/heavy rainfall last night through this morning, the majority of the rain shield has shifted to the east with just a few showers this afternoon along with WINDY conditions. The cloud coverage will continue to linger though the workweek along with ABOVE SEASONAL temps.

Upper ridge will be building in mid-week which will moderate temperatures considerably. I have increased previous forecast highs to right around 70 degrees for much of the area. Models are still in fairly good agreement on the next system coming in Thursday/Friday. Showers will move in and out relatively quickly and with less intensity than today. In addition, it still appears that multiple shortwaves will be following in the footsteps of the first. This will result in possibly another extended period of below normal temperatures. At this time, doesn’t appear to be as cold as the previous, but possibly at least 4 days with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s.
