The week ahead will feature temperatures generally at or slightly below normal for this point of the year aside from Wednesday, when temperatures will head into the low 70s ahead of a cold front.

We’ve got a pretty quiet week of weather ahead aside from a frontal passage overnight Thursday into early Friday morning, which should spread some showers and maybe a thunderstorm through the area. Highs for much of the work week will run in the mid-60s, with temperatures approaching 70° on Thursday. Lows on Monday will bottom out around 50°, with a couple chillier mornings ahead for Tuesday and Wednesday with lows in the low 40s before warming back to 50° for Thursday and Friday morning.

The best chance of rain arrives late Thursday night into Friday morning, with showers expected. A thunderstorm or two can’t be ruled out ahead of the front, either, but timing will generally be a little less favorable climatology-wise for thunderstorms. Rain comes to an end Friday morning, and the cold front will be clearing the area during the day. Cooler and drier air filtering into the area will limit highs to the low 60s in the afternoon. Saturday will be as chilly of a start as we’ve seen since the turn of the year with lows in the mid-30s. Highs on Saturday will struggle to the low-to-mid-50s, while Sunday will run a little warmer with highs in the mid-50s after starting solidly in the mid-30s. Overall, though, not too shabby for the first full work week of 2023.

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.
