Discussion

An Arctic front has passed through the region and there are a few rain and snow showers immediately behind the front that will move into the region later this morning. The afternoon will bring about clearing skies, but with windy and cold conditions and temperatures will hold near 40 degrees after dropping this morning. Strong Canadian high pressure will push towards the east coast over the next couple of days and it is anchoring an Arctic air mass that will result in some of the coldest temperatures yet this season across portions of the East and Deep South. The unseasonal chill should last through Thursday, but then as the high approaches the east coast late this week, the low-level flow will back around to a southwesterly direction and temperatures will rebound quite nicely by the weekend.
