Discussion
An unusually cool air mass for early May has engulfed much of the northeastern quadrant of the nation and it’ll stick around for a few more days. The Great Lakes, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US will be stuck with well below-normal temperatures through much of the remainder of the week with a deep upper-level low pressure system spinning around overhead. With cold air aloft, any daytime heating early in the day will quickly result in destabilization of the atmosphere leading to clouds and scattered rain showers. The air is cold enough that some higher-elevation interior locations of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US can even experience ice pellets (graupel) and/or snowflakes mixed in with the rain during the next couple of days. The weather gets quieter and milder at the end of the week.
