 The water vapor/500mb steering level image indicates the general outlook over the next seven days. The weather impact for our region is minimal through Sunday. A potential storm on the first of next week is a feature to watch for a potential leaf stripper. ABOUT FROST: Cloud cover breaks up heading into Tuesday night, but not all areas see a clearing sky. As a result, frost potential is a crapshoot. RULE OF THUMB: If you are gardening and located away from the smell of sea salt, it would be wise to cover your plants as a precaution, even if your area is not under a frost advisory. DISTURBANCES PINWHEEL AROUND THE UPPER LOW over Eastern Quebec. As a result, areas of cloud cover, cooler-than-normal temperatures, and a risk of a light shower, along with a couple of mountain snowflakes, are possible through Thursday. WEAK RIDGING moves into the region for Friday. Temperatures will warm up a bit heading into Saturday. SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY, but at this point, I see a better chance for the mountains and north as this looks more like a clipper. Southern and eastern areas may see some nuisance showers, but it does not appear to be a washout. SUNDAY is likely to be the pick of the weekend but with cooler temperatures. MONDAY brings the next chance for a storm. Silly season has arrived WARNING: Silly season has started with operational model ideas regarding snowfall, and they naturally get spread around social media by the foolish, the dreamers, and the irresponsible. The GFS ensemble idea presented here shows a low percentage chance of snowfall for the western mountains at this point for early next week. It wouldn’t surprise me to see an inch or two for the higher elevations from this vantage point, given the cold air aloft, but nothing that screams shoveling and snow plows. I’ll keep an eye on it and update as the week continues. Temperature outlook through Monday  Your support for 2025 is needed and greatly appreciated!
