Winter returns with snow showers, graupel, warm-up coming

Skies remained mostly cloudy in a brisk northwesterly flow behind a strong low-pressure system in the Northeast. Snow showers will taper off to scattered evening flurries and dissipate, with only a few breaks in the overcast.

Wind gusts will continue between 20 and 30 mph, with temperatures stuck in the mid- to upper 30s, and a wind chill in the low to mid-20s.

Skies will gradually clear later tonight, setting us up for a cold Monday morning in the mid- to upper 20s.

Sunshine will return to start the week, with a quick warm-up, as temperatures rebound into the 50s Monday, and then the 60s midweek with high pressure building in from the west.

Clouds will increase on Wednesday midweek in a southwesterly flow of air that will moisten ahead of a storm system in the central states. Showers will break out Thursday and become more widespread ahead of a cold front that will arrive at the end of the week. Cooler weather returns next weekend.
