Discussion
The coastal storm that spread precipitation into our region on Thursday will gradually push away this morning and there will be clearing skies by tonight. High pressure edges this way and will control the weather through the weekend and right through the first half of next week. Temperatures will average below-normal for this time of year with highs generally doing no better than the 40 degree mark during the next several days despite plenty of sunshine. Late next week, a storm can form near the east coast at the leading edge of an incoming Arctic air mass…something we’ll need to monitor in coming days. Christmas weekend to follow is looking quite cold in the eastern half of the nation.
