Discussion
On the heels of yesterday’s intense storm, winds will continue to be quite strong and a frigid Arctic air mass has overspread the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures both today and Saturday will have a tough time climbing to the teens for highs and overnight lows for the next couple of early mornings will not be far from zero. The temperatures will moderate on Monday following another very cold day to end the weekend, but the “warm up” may be accompanied by a light wintry mix of ice, rain and/or snow.
