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 well down into the 20’s by early Saturday morning and will do no better than the lower 40’s 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.
