Discussion

There will be heavy rain at times today as a strong cold front heads towards the east coast and an intense jet streak passes overhead. The heavy rain will be accompanied by unseasonably mild conditions this morning and gusty winds out of the south-to-southeast just ahead of the frontal system. The rain will taper off later this afternoon and temperatures will drop sharply as the next in a series of cold shots arrives from our northwest. The next couple of days will be dominated by high pressure and there will be plenty of sunshine each day, but temperatures will be well below-normal for this time of year. Looking ahead, there are signs for a widespread brutally cold air outbreak next week that will impact much of the central and eastern US.
