Discussion
The low pressure system that brought significant snow to the region on Monday is now well offshore and a reinforcing Arctic air mass has followed in its wake riding in on strong NW winds. Temperatures will do no better today for afternoon highs than around the 30 degree mark and strong winds of up to 40 mph will produce wind chill values in the single digits. High pressure dominates for the next few days providing us with some sunshine on a daily basis to go along with the below-normal temperatures and then we’ll have to monitor a southern storm system by the weekend to see if it can impact the area with some snowfall.
