Overview
- Cooler, drier air has settled in behind the weekend front with gusty winds reported up to 38 mph in parts of the Mid-Atlantic and wind chills dropping into the single digits to teens in northern New England Monday morning.
- High pressure keeps conditions mostly quiet early in the week, with a modest rebound Monday–Tuesday into the 50s and 60s in several regions despite lingering clouds in the Gulf South.
- A reinforcing system late Tuesday night into Wednesday is expected to bring rain changing to snow or a wintry mix in places, with light snow showers possible into Thursday and Friday in parts of the Northeast; forecasters note timing and intensity remain uncertain.
- Colder air arrives late week, with subfreezing mornings likely in multiple areas including teens and 20s in Virginia Friday and 20s on Louisiana’s Northshore, while daytime highs trend to the 30s and 40s in many locations.
- Another front next weekend could bring additional precipitation chances, and a Beach Hazards Statement is in effect for California’s Central Coast through Monday evening for sneaker waves and strong rip currents.
