Outlook:

The DecemBRRR chill shivers on this week. Nighttime lows will drop quickly once the cloud coverage thins. The winds are forecasted to be breezy too. You know the meteorological math by now. Cold+ Wind= Makes it feel MUCH colder. Windchills by daybreak will be in the single digits and low teens. Brace yourself for the coldest start yet this season.

Tonight's lows could be 4°, 5°, 6° colder than four nights ago. So far, and it's early I know, but December stats are all about the cold start to the month. Temps right now are -7° colder than the typical norm. That is pretty impressive.

Aside from the cold, which will longer most of the week, the area has a few chances for snow. Let me preface it right now that we do not have a large, formidable storm we are tracking. Just a few opportunities with fast moving systems that could deliver some light snowfall.

The 1st is Tuesday night. It's a "clipper system" fast moving and typically does not have a lot of moisture attached to it. The timing of the energy thru the region gives us the best chance to squeeze out, at best, a quick coating especially north and west.

On the heels of that weak system, the main brunt of weather tracks from the Great Lakes into upstate New York. The trailing weather should warm temps back up, briefly to the mid 40°s with a wintry mix or rain, sleet and snow providing a nuisance to anyone driving around thru the day on Wednesday.

Thursday cold air rushes back in behind that wintry mix and periodic flurries are possible. Friday thru Saturday look quiet. COLD but quiet. Mid-range computer guidance is hinting at the possibility of a storm on Sunday that might, just might, lay down our first minor to modest snowfall of the season. We've already had a few moments where a quick coating happened. Sunday could be a little more measured. We shall see.
