Short term outlook:
The good news is that I am not anticipating widespread bitterly cold air this week. Finally, a break in the pattern. This break may last into at least a portion of next week.
Tonight into Tuesday
Some clouds tonight. Gusty winds. An isolated light shower or flurry possible.
It will be cooler on Tuesday morning. Lows should dip into the 30’s. Highs on Tuesday may remain in the 40’s.
6 AM Tuesday temperatures.
.
.
3 PM Tuesday temperatures
.
Wednesday through Friday
Calm weather. A mix of sun and clouds. Highs mostly in the upper 40’s to middle 50’s and lows mostly in the middle 30’s to lower 40’s. Not too bad considering it is January. I am sure most of you will welcome a break from the extreme cold.

Beau’s Winter Weather Outlook

I am not tracking any snow or ice event. Keep checking back. The cold pattern may return as we move into next week and the following.
We offer regional radars and local city radars – if a radar does not update then try another one. Occasional browsers need their cache cleared. You may also try restarting your browser. This will usually fix any problems.
During the winter you can track snow and ice by clicking the winterize button on the local city view interactive radars.
