Discussion
A strong cold front passed through the region late last evening and ushered in a colder-than-normal air mass for mid-March and temperatures today will struggle to climb through the 30’s. The front produced some high wind gusts in the area with 60 mph being recorded at Philly International Airport (PHL). The winds will remain rather strong adding to the chill in the air and there can be a snow shower or two that make their way into the I-95 corridor. It stays chilly at mid-week, but temperatures rebound by the end of the week with high temperatures back up in the 50’s.
