Discussion
The passage of an Arctic front early yesterday paved the way for bitter cold air to push into the Mid-Atlantic region and temperatures today will stay well below-normal for late January. Low pressure will move offshore later tonight to the east of the Carolinas and its precipitation shield should also remain to our south and east. The overall weather pattern, however, remains quite cold and active and there may be another low pressure system to deal with by the middle of next week and perhaps even another threat by the subsequent weekend.
