Discussion
Temperatures dropped well down into the 30’s last night in many suburban locations with the first frost of the season and, after a mostly sunny day here on Wednesday, they’ll drop to near the freezing mark late tonight. In fact, temperatures should remain at below-normal levels right through the upcoming weekend. High pressure will remain in control through the remainder of the work week, but then we’ll have to monitor the movement of low pressure later this weekend that will be pushing northward just off the east coast.
