Discussion
A cold frontal system slipped through the region in the overnight hours and today will turn out to be quite windy and cold despite mainly sunny skies. High pressure will shift off the coast on Wednesday and another cold front will slide through the region later Thursday. Moisture will arrive here by early Friday as strong low pressure pulls out of the southern states and heads towards the Ohio Valley. This system will result in mainly a rain event here on New Year’s Day, but it may be cold enough at the onset for some sleet and/or freezing rain with a cold air mass in only slow retreat. It’ll turn milder by Friday night and Saturday before another cold front pushes across the region late Saturday and then we’ll have to watch for a potential low pressure system to develop near the east coast on Sunday.
