We’ve got a few more warm and muggy days ahead to start 2023 before a front gets through mid-week, bringing temperatures closer to early January normals.

We begin the final week of 2022 with Arctic air continuing to make its presence felt across the area. We’ll start Monday in the upper teens to low 20s, with freezing temperatures all the way to the coast once again. It’ll be another night to make sure that pets, plants, and people are well accounted for, and that pipes are protected with extra insulation and a dripping faucet. Highs will top out again in the low-to-mid-40s under predominantly sunny skies.

The week ahead will be primarily unsettled before an outbreak of Arctic air overspreads the area for Christmas weekend, bringing the coldest temperatures so far this season with potentially hazardous wind chills on Saturday morning.

Aside from a couple days in the middle of the week where we will be a little warmer ahead of a storm system, below-normal temperatures will generally be more the rule than the exception, especially as we head into the weekend in the wake of the aforementioned storm system and its associated cold front.

The main weather story of the week ahead will be how non-December-like it will feel, with highs running some 10°+ above normal for much of the work week as we sit between fronts.

Aside from some showers on Wednesday as a cold front moves through, this week looks pretty good weather-wise, offering up more in the way of sunshine than we’ve seen in the past couple weeks.

If you weren’t a huge fan of the winter-like chill that shaped the past week’s weather, here comes a somewhat more seasonable feel to the air for Thanksgiving week. (We’ll also have some showers and some tidal flooding to come along for the ride.)

Well, the 80s are over (for at least a while, anyway). A cold front that came through Sunday morning ensured that our high of 68° would be set…at 1am. It was a somewhat chilly afternoon, and we have more of the same in store for the week ahead as well-below normal temperatures become the rule heading into the weekend before Thanksgiving.

An unsettled week lies ahead, particularly for those of us near the coast, as a possible tropical or hybrid cyclone develops and moves toward Florida around mid-week before recurving with a cold front later in the week. After that front gets through, below-normal temperatures will arrive by Sunday.

The week ahead will look a lot different from this past weekend as we cast away the gray in favor of more sunshine and warmer-than-normal temperatures to kick off November.
