Weekend Highlights

The core of the Siberian air mass will move northeastward and drift away from North America today and into this weekend. As a result, temperatures will gradually rise closer to seasonal averages throughout the weekend, with mostly dry conditions expected. There may be a few light snow flurries in the mountains and far north, but overall, the pattern will remain calm. For much of next week, no major storm systems are anticipated, and temperatures will continue to be seasonably cool.
