Discussion              

High pressure will be in control as we begin a new work week and it’ll drift to the east of here by mid-week.  As a result, it’ll start off on the cool side, but turn milder on Tuesday. An influx of more Arctic air and its associated slow-moving cold front will have a big impact on a wide part of the nation this week and it’ll bring rain here at mid-week.  Colder air will follow the frontal passage and we’ll see temperatures drop noticeably by the late week as Arctic air filters into the region.
