Discussion
An Arctic air mass has flooded the eastern half of the nation and the coldest air temperatures and strongest winds will take place on Wednesday. The next low pressure system to monitor will arrive in the Mid-Atlantic region on Friday on the back end of this unusual cold spell and it could result in some snow. It’ll turn milder this weekend and an area of rain is likely to move into the eastern states on Sunday ahead of another cold frontal system.
