Discussion
Strong low pressure is now heading away from the Mid-Atlantic coastline and our focus will shift from the winter storm to an influx of Arctic air which will be way below-normal for this time of year. Not only will colder-than-normal weather persist this week in the local region, but for much of the eastern 2/3rds of the nation as well. Temperatures could bottom out in the mid teens this mid-week in many suburban locations. High pressure will build into the area on Tuesday and control the weather into the latter part of the new work week. There is the threat for more snow or rain at week's end.
