Discussion
It is much more like February this morning than April with below freezing temperatures and scattered snow showers. Another Arctic blast has arrived in the Mid-Atlantic region and temperatures today will hold in the 40’s - well below normal for this time of year (normal high at PHL is 59 degrees). A hard freeze is quite likely late tonight throughout the metro region as temperatures will likely fall below freezing for a several hour period. Yet another Arctic blast arrives late this week and it should be preceded by more rainfall in the I-95 corridor on Thursday. Beyond that, there will be a lots of upper level energy hanging back in the atmosphere after the cold air becomes well established in the Mid-Atlantic region and we'll have to watch for potential mischief by early in the weekend.
