Discussion
The warm up that took place on Thursday is going to be rather short-lived as a cold front passed through the region in the overnight hours. A bit chillier air will move in for today and it’ll stick around through the upcoming weekend. The weather pattern for next week looks quite active with a strong cold front arriving in the eastern states on Monday and then low pressure may follow at mid-week. The cold air mass in the northeastern states that arrives early next week will be reluctant to give up its ground at mid-week and this could result in some snow and/or ice in portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US.
