Discussion

The Arctic blast that reached the eastern US on Monday is having an impact this morning all the way down to southern Florida with numerous low temperature records across the southeastern states and Tennessee Valley region. In addition to the unusual cold in our area, winds will be quite strong today gusting to 40 mph or so which will make it feel even colder than the actual air temperatures. Temperatures do relax some at mid-week, but a chilly air mass moves in later this week following the passage of another cold frontal system.
