Discussion
An active pattern continues this week with another strong Arctic frontal system headed our way for the overnight hours. After a chilly start to the day, it’ll turn milder ahead of this next cold front with temperatures climbing well up into the 60’s during the afternoon to go along with some shower activity and maybe a thunderstorm or two. Winds will pick up later tonight as the next Arctic air mass arrives and there will be a plunge in temperatures after midnight with lows generally in the upper 20’s. Another hard freeze is likely tomorrow night with lows dropping to the 20’s for a several hour period. Yet another Arctic blast arrives late this week and it will likely be preceded by a complex low pressure system likely to produce more rainfall in the I-95 corridor.
