Discussion
It’ll turn milder as we begin the new work week as high pressure shifts off the coast and southwesterly flow of air develops in the lower levels of the atmosphere. Low pressure will head towards the eastern Great Lakes later today and drag a cold front through the region by mid-week. Showers are likely with this frontal system from tonight into later tomorrow and then another system will impact the region from Wednesday into early Thursday. That next system will feature strong low pressure going up to the northwest of here and more rain showers from Wednesday into early Thursday. By later Thursday, a stiff flow of air from the northwest will usher in a cold air mass for the latter stages of the week and it’ll stay on the cold side heading into the weekend.
