The low pressure that caused the heavy snow is slowly weakening and moving off further offshore, but skies in our area will remain cloudy with some flurries mainly this morning. Winds will be a little brisk with gusts to 20 mph.

Finally we will see some sunshine on Thursday as the low pressure loosens it’s grip on our area and high pressure builds from the west.

A weak frontal system will cause some light rain and snow on Friday with no snow accumulation expected.

Saturday will be a dry with seasonably cold temperatures.

Most computer models now have the storm to be too far to our east to cause any impact in our area but that could change if the storm is closer to the coast.

Much colder weather will return for much of next week but as of now no significant storms are expected.
