LOW PRESSURE AREA APPROACHING FROM THE WEST SHOULD BRING SOME RAIN LATE ON MONDAY... THE WEEK AHEAD SHOULD BE A CHILLY ONE WITH DRY WEATHER FOR THE MO

The low pressure are that will be moving by to our north later Monday shouldn't cause too many problems. Light rain should overspread Hampton Roads late in the day. Temperatures will be rising into the 40's with a southwest wind out ahead of the low pressure/cold front. No snow is anticipated anywhere in the Hampton Roads region. Note that as the low moves off the South Jersey coastline, a secondary low will develop and intensify possibly bringing a significant snowstorm to parts of New England. Following this system, the weather should be fairly quiet for most of this week. Skies should be sunny with just some cloudiness at times. Temperatures will be cold but not severely cold. Compared to what we've endured of late, I think that this week will be easy to take. As we get towards the weekend, a system may bring us precipitation... There are now signs that the overall pattern that has been keeping us in the "deep freeze" is going to change. Folks in the Mid-Atlantic states will be glad to see a change in the pattern. Even snow lovers have probably had enough of the white stuff. However, there is plenty of winter to go and we still may see some more winter weather trouble before it's all said and done.
