915PM (original) / 1215AM update to remove TONIGHT portion & tweak MONDAY and also add a note about visible planets…
Well it’s that time again. Another week over. Another about to begin. And time to take a look at the weather for the next 7 days.
The weather pattern this week is fairly straightforward, with a fast-flowing jet stream bringing a few disturbances across the region. These should come through Monday (an upper level system with cold air aloft causing lots of clouds), Wednesday (a low pressure area from the southwest with a period of rain), and Friday (a low pressure area passing north of the area and dragging a cold front through with clouds and a chance of showers). High pressure will dominate Tuesday & Thursday with fair weather for the Ides & St. Patrick’s Day. An early peek at next weekend indicates high pressure building in with dry, chilly weather, with a windy start Saturday and a more tranquil Sunday.
NOTE: If the sky clears early enough Monday evening, looking to the west about 45 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes after sunset you will be able to see Jupiter & Mercury. Mercury will be to the lower right of the easily-spotted brighter Jupiter. You need to be able to see lower to the horizon to observe Mercury. Binoculars will help. Hopefully the clouds will get out of here in time.

Glad to see an update:)) looks like a quiet week ahead. BB hinted at snow next Monday? You see the same thing?
I don’t think we see it then. Probably dry/cool at that point, but starting to put ingredients in place for a potential sometime later in that week.
