Discussion

Arctic air pushed into the region on Sunday on the heels of the snow associated with a “clipper” system and it’ll stay quite cold through tomorrow with well below-normal temperatures for the middle of December. There is an upper-level disturbance that will push near the area later today and a couple of snow showers cannot be ruled out for later today and early tonight. 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 and the winds will get very strong by Friday as colder air pushes into the northeastern states (moderately cold air mass this time).
