Discussion
Winds will increase markedly today with the arrival of a strong cold frontal system from our northwest. That front will usher in an Arctic air mass for Tuesday and Tuesday night with some of the lowest temperatures so far this season and snow showers cannot be ruled out around here. In fact, this cold air outbreak that pushes across the Great Lakes will result in significant lake effect snows in places just downstream of the still relatively warm lake waters. Temperatures will moderate later this week and another rain event is possible in the Mid-Atlantic region at the end of the week.
