Discussion
The colder-than-normal weather pattern that set up after the passage of Hurricane Michael will continue right into the end of the month. High pressure on top of the region today will push to the east and give way to another cold frontal system later Tuesday that will usher in a renewed chilly air mass for the middle and latter parts of the week. High pressure will resume control of the weather following the frontal passage and we’ll experience plenty of sunshine to go along with the below-normal temperatures. There are still strong signs for a big storm to form this weekend somewhere near or along the east coast with heavy rain potential for us...we’ll continue to monitor that possibility over the next few days.
