Discussion
An Arctic air mass is filtering into the region today in the wake of the passage of a slow-moving frontal system. There is some post-frontal precipitation with this particular system and - with temperatures near the freezing mark – this can result in some freezing rain so watch out for slick spots on the roads. Winds will also be a factor today gusting up to 25 mph or so from a northerly direction as colder air filters into the region. It’ll remain on the colder-than-normal side into the upcoming weekend, but milder conditions are likely to arrive early next week.
