Weekly Outlook: February 26 – March 3, 2024

Some interesting weather is on the way for the upcoming week.

A warm front will move across the region this morning with a few rain or snow showers accompanying it. We’ll clear out this afternoon with milder weather settling in. High pressure builds in for Tuesday with partial sunshine and even milder weather but clouds will thicken up by evening as a strong cold front begins to approach from the west. Gusty south to southwest winds ahead of the front will send temperatures well into the 50s on Wednesday, despite plenty of clouds and some occasional rain showers. The front moves through late in the day, then colder air surges in quickly behind the front. Rain may change to snow before coming to an end Wednesday night as temperatures quickly drop on gusty northwest winds.

High pressure returns with chilly weather on Thursday, but the cold air won’t hang around too long. Temperatures start to moderate on Friday as the high moves off to the east, then unseasonably warm weather returns for the first weekend of March. However, we’ll also have to keep an eye on a low pressure area off to the south, as it may spread more clouds and possibly some rainfall in, especially near the South Coast on Saturday.

Saturday could end up being wet, or maybe it won’t. We’ll have a better idea later this week. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
