Discussion
High pressure will be in control today in the Mid-Atlantic region, but it’ll be quite cold with highs confined to the 30’s. Tomorrow will see an influx of milder air ahead of an approaching cold front and temperatures should make it into the 40’s. Low pressure will form along the advancing frontal boundary zone and rain is likely to arrive here later in the day. As colder air pushes in tomorrow night, the rain is likely to change to snow before ending by early Friday morning. Following the passage of the late week cold front, it’ll stay quite cold on Friday and Saturday and then snow and/or rain will threaten the Philly metro region on Super Bowl Sunday. [By the way, good thing the game is indoors on Sunday in Minneapolis as temperatures will start off below zero and then struggle to reach +10 degrees (F)].
