Sunny, Much Cooler

This morning's weather maps show that a very deep trough is poised to dig deep into the Southeast U.S. today and will bring a reinforcing shot of Canadian air. The core of the cold air is forecast to be very close to us and will allow for a few cool days and cold nights. It will be very tough to find a cloud in the sky today, but with strong cold air advection, we will barely reach the lower 60s this afternoon. With the cold air firmly in place by tonight, clear skies, and light winds, we will easily see our coldest night of the season so far. I think winds stay up just enough to keep us from a freeze, but a frost is certainly possible in the morning with temperatures around 34. Tomorrow will be coldest day this week as highs won't make it out of the 50s and we could be setting up for our first freeze Wednesday morning. If you don't like cold weather, no worries because a sprawling ridge looks to take shape by the end of the week and promises a return to warmer weather.
