As a result, the warming trend that began yesterday will continue for the next couple of days and the nice weather pattern looks like it’ll continue into early next week. We are not quite done with the cold shots, however, as another air mass featuring below-normal temperatures is destined to arrive here by the middle of next week.

An unusually chilly air mass is in place across the northeastern part of the nation, jet streaks will form at multiple levels of the atmosphere, and a vigorous disturbance aloft will all contribute to the formation of a significant storm that will have a variety of impacts over the northeastern quadrant of the nation. Cold air outbreaks from Canada into the central and eastern states have continued unabated in recent weeks and it looks like they will continue into late April and likely the early part of May.
