Synopsis:.
A significant cold front will approach the region this morning. Morning showers have a decent chance of changing to snow showers as cold air comes rushing in during the mid to late morning hours. At this point this doesn’t look like a major concern with the white stuff. There is the potential for a dusting or coating of snow in spots and on colder surfaces. The sun will return during the afternoon. Temperatures will drop from morning highs in the 40s & 50s into the 30s and winds will increase.
The coldest airmass of the season so far will be will be upon us Tuesday night and Wednesday as Canadian high pressure works in. Record lows are possible for Wednesday. The forecast is for 21º at Central Park Wednesday morning, the record is 24º set in 1986. Gather up that firewood!
The weather looks to cooperate for the end of the week as high pressure dominates the Mid-Atlantic. Readings will recover slowly to near 50º by Friday. At least the sun will be shining.
Stay Tuned.
