Discussion

The core of the cold Arctic air mass is sitting on top of the region this morning and today will turn out to be another day with well below normal temperatures. High temperatures this afternoon will struggle to pass the 40 degree mark despite plenty of sunshine and wind chills will be even lower. Some modification in temperatures will occur on Thursday and then the rebound will intensify this weekend. In fact, high temperatures on Sunday afternoon could be some twenty degrees warmer than today although showers may dampen that milder weather. It stays mild on Monday with some rain likely as the next cold front sweeps towards us and that frontal passage will likely usher in another cold air mass on Tuesday.
