Discussion
Another chilly day and night is in store for the region following the passage of a cold frontal system late yesterday and frost will be possible towards morning in N/W suburban locations with clear skies and light winds. High pressure will push off the east coast by Thursday and this will result in some dramatic temperatures changes at week’s end. Temperatures will become warmer on Thursday as southwesterly flow develops in the lower part of the atmosphere and then they’ll soar on Friday to summer-like values in the lower 80's. With the significant warm up at the end of the work week will come an increased chances of showers and thunderstorms and the summer-like warmth will continue into the upcoming weekend.
