Discussion
A strong cold front will arrive here tomorrow night and usher in the coldest air mass of the season so far for Friday and Saturday. Temperatures should drop to near 20 degrees by early Saturday morning and will do no better than near 40 degrees for highs on both Friday and Saturday afternoons. Some modification in temperatures is likely by the early part of next week, but more cold air outbreaks are destined to follow later this month as a “high-latitude blocking” pattern develops way up north.
