Discussion
The big weather news across the eastern part of the nation for the next few days will be the arrival of a much colder-than-normal air mass for the beginning of the month of April. Today will be the transition day around here with much colder air to push in by the overnight hours and temperatures by early Thursday won’t be far from the freezing mark. Showers and thunderstorms are possible today as the strong cold front pushes in this direction with low pressure forming along the frontal boundary zone. Widespread frost is likely across the region late Thursday night and again late Friday night during this abnormal early April cold air outbreak. The unusual late week chill will ease noticeably as we progress through the upcoming Easter weekend.
