A classic +PNA pattern is evident this morning with a ridge anchored out west and a trough over the Eastern U.S. This trough was responsible for the chilly weather over the weekend and will continue to dominate our weather for the next couple of days. In fact, the trough will only deepen over the next 24 hours and send a weak cold front through the area which will provide a reinforcing shot of cooler air tomorrow. Before doing so, however, we should manage to warm up nicely compared to the previous two days. With only a few passing clouds this afternoon, I think highs can manage to top out around 60. This front will have very limited moisture so I'm not expecting any rain at all. After the frontal passage, we should be left with colder and drier air. The only factor preventing us from dropping near freezing tomorrow morning will be the wind speed remaining too high. Despite this, I still think we wind up near 33 overnight. Tomorrow looks like the coldest day of the season with highs potentially remaining in the 40s.
