Discussion

A strong cold front passed through the region late yesterday and a secondary cold front will pass through later today. Temperatures tumbled in the overnight hours and will be colder-than-normal today, tomorrow, and right through the upcoming weekend. Winds will become quite a noticeable factor as well strengthening during the day and gusting at 35+mph on Thursday night and Friday. This Arctic air outbreak will set off another round of Great Lakes-effect snows and there can be a couple of snow showers that make their way across the mountains and into the immediate I-95 corridor. Looking ahead, low pressure may try to ride up along an Arctic frontal boundary zone early next week and we’ll have to watch for a threat of rain, ice and/or snow in the Mid-Atlantic region during the Tuesday/Wednesday time period.
