Discussion
Vigorous upper-level energy is moving overhead this morning and the result is snow and there can be a brief, heavier burst in the metro region. After a relatively mild start to the week, temperatures today are going to hold in the 30’s as a new (and colder) air mass arrived in the overnight hours. High pressure will return to take control for the mid-week and then a strong cold front and associated low pressure system will arrive late in the work week and this could result in a “rain-changing-to-snow” scenario for Thursday night into Friday morning.
