Wx Shield

Good morning and Happy Monday! Unfortunately, we will have some colder air to begin the week before we turn more springlike by the end of the week.

This morning temperatures will be in the upper teens. Winds will be from the north between five to ten mph. This morning, we will have patchy clouds. 

This afternoon temperatures will reach into mid to upper 30s. During the afternoon hours we will have a mix of clouds and sunshine. Winds will be from the southeast between five to ten mph. 

Tonight, temperatures will be in the upper 20s. Winds will be from the south between five to ten mph. Tonight we will be partly cloudy at first, but clouds will increase, and a wintry mix will develop into Tuesday morning. I am hoping it holds off, so we can see the full Worm Moon and total Lunar Eclipse early Tuesday morning. The full moon will be at its peak at 6:38 am EST on Tuesday morning. 

Tuesday looks to be difficult to travel in the morning hours. It is a still a few days away, but you want to use caution. A low-pressure system from the south will move in bringing what looks to be freezing rain or an icy mix to the morning commute. As the day goes along, it will turn to a plain rain.
