Discussion
The day starts off with temperatures near the freezing mark in many spots so watch out for black ice on all road surfaces that appear wet. A frontal system will approach the region today and it can produce a couple of showers and the winds will become very noticeable later in the day gusting up to 45 mph or so. High pressure will take control on Wednesday and under mostly sunny skies, afternoon temperatures will climb towards the 60 degree mark. A cold front passes through on Wednesday night and it’ll turn colder again for the last couple days of the work week.
