Clouds at Times and Cold

Low clouds arrived after midnight in advance of a potent upper air system and a few snow flurries are ongoing just to our north. Don't be surprised to see a few flurries this morning, but the best shot of seeing these will be to our north and east. The current temperature is 28 and it's not going to climb a lot higher today due to a persistent stratus deck and strong cold air advection. This afternoon's high will hit 37, but a strong pressure gradient will make the temperature feel like it's in the 20s most of the day. Clouds will clear later this evening and the winds will begin to subside. As a result, the temperature will be primed to drop quickly with dry air in place. I think we drop to 20 tomorrow morning so be sure to bundle up going to work or school. Get through today and the reward will be 60s by the end of the week. Our next chance of rain will also be Friday as another cold front approaches.
