A strong cold front came through the region last night and it has ushered into the Mid-Atlantic region an unseasonably cold air mass for this time of year with its origins up in the Arctic region. Temperatures today will do no better than the upper 40’s for afternoon highs and there will be a strong NW wind producing much lower wind chill values. Temperatures are likely to drop to below-freezing later tonight bottoming out in the mid-to-upper 20’s across many suburban locations. With high pressure in control at mid-week, there should be plenty of sunshine on Wednesday; however, temperatures will remain below-normal throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

The risk is high today for a severe weather outbreak across the Tennessee Valley, Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley, and Mid-South and this threat includes the possibility of multiple strong (EF-3+) tornadoes. Numerous ingredients are coming together to result in a widespread severe weather outbreak later today and tonight including strong jet streaks at multiple levels of the atmosphere, a clash of air masses with cold, dry air to the north and west and warm, humid air to the east and south, and a strong surface low pressure system with its attendant cold front. In addition to the severe weather, it appears that a multi-day extreme rainfall event is on the way for much of this same part of the nation from later today through the first half of the weekend with widespread flooding a serious concern.
