Discussion

A cold front passed through the region on Sunday resulting in a much different day compared to Saturday when temperatures climbed through the 50’s. The cold front has dropped just to the south of here and low pressure will ride along the boundary zone from later tonight into Tuesday. It’ll be cold enough for snow at the onset here towards daybreak and then a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain is likely on Tuesday morning…watch for slick spots during the AM commute and I would expect to see “Winter Weather Advisories” posted later today by the NWS. Temperatures climb towards the 40-degree mark on Tuesday afternoon and expect some plain rain in the area which can continue on Tuesday night. Much milder weather arrives for the second half of the week, but it’ll be accompanied by multiple rounds of showers.
