We’ll get 2026 off to a slightly chilly but seasonable start with surface high pressure in control. Temperatures will fall to the mid-30s by morning, with some freezing temperatures possible closer to I-95. With plenty of sunshine, though, temperatures will rebound right to where they should be for the beginning of the year, with highs peaking around 60° in the afternoon. It’ll be a bit breezy, especially in the morning, but those winds will slacken some as we head into the evening.
A cold front getting through the area Monday afternoon will usher in much cooler air for Tuesday. We’ll start the day around freezing away from the coast, with wind chills bottoming out in the mid-to-upper 20s in the morning thanks to northwesterly winds around 5-10 MPH. This breeze continues for much of the day. Despite full sunshine, the ongoing influx of cold air will keep highs pinned to the low 50s across the metro.
Quiet weather continues this weekend, though the temperature rollercoaster will continue to roll on as record highs Saturday yield to cooler (but still warmer-than-normal) temperatures on Sunday.
