Discussion
A weak cold frontal system crossed the region overnight and it’ll turn out somewhat cooler today than yesterday, but temperatures will remain above normal for this time of year. Weak high pressure will push in for the next couple of days before a much stronger cold front approaches on Thursday. Additional rain will accompany the next front on Thursday and much colder air will follow for the end of the week and upcoming weekend. This next cold shot will not last too long, however, as much milder air will make a return for the bulk of Christmas week.
