Discussion
A cold front came through the region last night and low pressure has tracked along it into the northeastern part of the nation bringing with it occasional shower activity. A secondary cold front pushes through late tonight and it will usher in an unusually cold air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures are going to fall to the middle 30’s late tonight following this initial frontal system and then to near 30 degrees late Tuesday night following the passage of the secondary cold front.
