FORECAST DISCUSSION

Following a pleasant weekend which saw many get outside and tackle yard work, the upcoming week will provide an opportunity to let those sore muscles recover.  The 7-day forecast, and probably beyond, shows well below normal temperatures.  This pattern should peak in the Friday/Saturday time frame where a hard frost is expected and the possibility for snow showers returns.

The cold air filtering from the north will be very clean.  As a result, Air Quality should remain mostly Good through the forecast period.  As the origin of the air is very far north, it is expected to be very dry reducing the chance for any significant precipitation.  There will be a low system, which passes to our south across the Ohio Valley, which could provide some clouds and light showers in the southern tier counties, but nothing of significance.

The next chance of a system passing through the area will likely not be until the Sunday/Monday time slot.  Even then, we probably will not see much of a temperature warm-up and should still experience mostly Good Air Quality.

EXTENDED FORECAST:

Air Quality should remain mostly Good going into the next work week.
