February 3, 2026 3:29 pm

Mostly sunny this afternoon with a few low clouds lingering at the beaches. Offshore flow continues with strengthening east winds along and below the coastal slopes of the mountains. The offshore winds will peak on Wednesday with gusts to 45 mph and isolated gusts to 55 mph before beginning to weaken on Thursday. Mid and high cloud will spread into the area from the southeast for Thursday into Friday with a slight chance of showers for the mountains late Thursday night and early Friday. There will be drying and warming for the weekend, then cooler for next Monday.

A low pressure system will produce rain and thunderstorms in the Southeast, and light wintry precipitation in the Mid-Atlantic. A frontal system is expected to bring light snow and wintry precipitation to the Northern Plains mid-week, while the Great Lakes experience heavier snow on Thursday. Warmer-than-average temperatures are set to continue for the western half of the United States, particularly in the Northern Plains.
