Discussion
A cold frontal system is clearing the coastal region this morning and a cool air mass for early October will spread east to the Mid-Atlantic from the Great Lakes. In fact, it’ll stay cooler-than-normal right through the upcoming weekend with highs confined to the 60’s on each day. Low pressure may try to form along the east later Sunday night and Monday and it could result in shower activity as we begin the new week. As the central and eastern states experience a chill down this weekend, the western states will get hotter and stay rain-free and this will increase the threat for wildfires in that part of the nation.
