Discussion
A strong northwest flow follows yesterday’s coastal storm and the much colder-than-normal air mass stays in place right into the weekend. There is also a chance for snow showers today and perhaps even an isolated heavier snow squall or two this afternoon which can bring quick small accumulations of an inch or so. Low temperatures during the next couple of nights should drop to near or below the 20 degree mark in many suburban locations. High pressure builds into the area on Friday, but then another "clipper" low pressure system will head in our direction by Friday night/early Saturday and it can bring with it some more snow and sleet. Looking ahead, winter is not over yet as it looks like there will be more cold air outbreaks and potential snow threats.
