High pressure moves over majority of the nation today with only some snow and rain chances over the Central Great Lakes. A cold front passes over the Great Lakes into the Northeast on Sunday and Monday dropping some snow with it; the greatest snow accumulations possible east of Lake Ontario. A large warm up is expected for the Southern US moving north into the Central Plains as temperatures climb to the 40s and 50s near Tennessee and the 60s to 70s along the Gulf of Mexico for Sunday. A storm in the Pacific also brings rain and snow to the Pacific Northwest and along the Northern Plains yet again for Sunday and Monday. Strong winds will also hit parts of Montana and Wyoming with gusts reaching 60 mph.
For the Champaign-Urbana area, today we saw sunny skies throughout the day, temperatures remained in the upper 30s, but it was breezy as a westerly wind brought wind gusts up to 26 mph. For Sunday there is a slight chance of flurries in the morning, but clouds will clear out leaving the day partly sunny and cooler with a high of only 33 °F and an overnight low of 27 °F with a W/NW at 15-25 mph. However, a nice warm up is in store for us Monday as we are expecting to see a high temperature of up to 50 °F with an early morning low of 28 °F, not bad for the end of January! Cloud cover throughout the day will remain partly sunny with a S/SW wind at 10-20mph with gusts as high as 25 mph and no precipitation.
