YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 48 LOW: 37 PRECIPITATION: .23″
A cold front will move through our area around sunrise followed by a strong northwest flow of chilly air. Skies will become sunny but wind gusts to above 40 mph will make it feel much colder. Low pressure off the New England coast as an Arctic high pressure builds from the west.
Very cold tonight with temperatures falling below freezing, so anyone that has sensitive plants or flowers outdoors may want to bring them inside.
Sunny on Wednesday with diminishing winds as the high pressure moves over our area, high temperatures will be a little milder than today in the afternoon.
A slow moving frontal system will give us a chance of showers during the day on Thursday with showers likely Thursday night through the day on Saturday. Rain may be heavy at times.
Sunday looks to be partly sunny with near seasonable temperatures.
Monday should be dry with milder temperatures.
