Discussion

A couple of frontal systems will impact our weather over the next few days with the initial front passing through the region later today. There can be a rain or snow shower at any time today as the front approaches the region and then another rain or snow shower is possible early tonight. A stronger cold front will arrive late Friday and it will be backed up by Arctic high pressure as we head into the upcoming weekend. As high pressure returns here on Saturday, temperatures will likely be confined to the 30's for highs and will then rebound some on Sunday. By early next week, a southwesterly flow of air will develop in the eastern US and we’ll turn milder along with an increasing chance of showers for both Monday and Tuesday. A strong cold front will then usher in another cold air mass for the middle of next week.
