Discussion

Arctic high pressure will push offshore today and this will allow for a bit of moderation in temperatures, but they’ll remain at well below-normal levels for this time of year. Temperatures should climb to near freezing this afternoon, but will drop to very cold levels again late tonight near the 15-degree mark. High pressure will return to the region this weekend and then a cold front arrives late Sunday probably on the dry side.
