Discussion              

High pressure will be in control as we begin a new work week and it’ll drift offshore by mid-week.  As a result, the week starts off quite cold, but turns milder on Wednesday and Thursday. An influx of 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 by Thursday.  Colder air will follow the frontal passage and we’ll have to monitor the chance of a changeover from rain to ice and/or snow later this week as the Arctic air filters into the region.
