Discussion
Arctic air pushed into the region on Sunday on the heels of the latest “clipper” system and it’ll stay quite cold right through tomorrow with well below-normal temperatures for the middle of December. High pressure will be in control at mid-week and it’ll turn slightly milder and then a strong cold front enters the scene on Thursday night. That frontal system can bring soaking rain to the area - perhaps even a thunderstorm - and the winds will get very strong by Friday as colder air pushes into the northeastern states (moderately cold air mass this time).
