.DISCUSSION...

It was a cold and partly sunny Friday with afternoon temps
peaking only in the upper 20s to around 30 for much of the area.
Locations around Crossville, Sparta, Manchester, and Altamont were
even colder thanks to stubborn stratus clouds. Wind chills were
hanging around 20 thanks to NNE winds.

A cold pattern will persist through the next 7 days with a
longwave trough over the central and eastern states. The weekend
looks dry as a series of clipper systems swing by mainly north of
the area. The tail end of these system will bring some passing
clouds and slight wind shifts. Nights will continue to be quite
cold as daytimes warm a few degrees each day. Highs will reach
the mid 30s to near 40 on Saturday and then 40s on Sunday. Lows
will be in the teens tonight and mainly lower 20s Saturday night.

Monday will be the warmest day of the next seven days as we pick up
a southerly wind component ahead of the next cold front. This
will allow highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s on Monday. The approaching
cold front will meet up with moisture from a southern stream low
pressure system Monday night into Tuesday. This could bring some
mixed rain and snow. At this time, amounts look light with
marginal temps, so not posting any wintry accumulations, but something
to keep an eye on over the next few days. Beyond Tuesday, the
area will once again be dry and cold through at least Thursday.
Some models show wintry precipitation coming in next Friday, but
blends are not picking up the potential just yet.
