A Blustery, Blustery Day

We've still got snow showers left over this morning from the weekend storm system, they are still wrapping around the area of low pressure that has moved off to our east, so expect these snow showers to follow suit and decrease from west to east this afternoon. The winds are going to cause wicked problems today. They will be strongest this morning and into the afternoon hours, gusting up to 50mph. This will cause the falling snow to blow around, reducing visibilities. Here's a brief breakdown of your wind forecast: Things will taper off a little later this evening, but the windy conditions will continue to cause blowing snow and reduce visibilities.
The winds will die down by Tuesday afternoon and the snow will have stopped by then, so we're looking at a more calm forecast from then on.
These winds are all from the northwest, so naturally they will bring colder weather into the forecast. Expect single digits near zero, some folks in the northeast may dip below zero tonight, which will set the stage for a colder work week.
Bundle up,
