Discussion
The overall weather pattern continues to look quite chilly for the next couple of weeks with a persistent flow of air from central Canada into the Mid-Atlantic region. While it’ll turn a bit milder on Tuesday, the passage of another cold front will bring more chilly air to the region for the mid-week and a cold air mass for early November will arrive by the end of the week. At the same time, low pressure may pull out of the southern states and we’ll have to watch for the possibility of rain or even the outside chance for rain-changing-to-snow at week’s end. Another cold blast is destined to arrive in the central and eastern US next week.
