Discussion
The new work week will start off on the cool side following the passage of a cool frontal system and winds will remain a factor from a northwesterly direction. The next couple of days will see moderation in temperatures and a strong cold front will approach on Wednesday with rain likely. The passage of the front will usher in a much colder-than-normal air mass for Thursday and Friday and overnight temperatures late this week are likely to go below the freezing mark once again. The unusual late week chill will ease during the upcoming Easter weekend.
