Where did the warmth go?

Despite partly sunny skies today temperatures this afternoon will run roughly 5° to 6° below average.  In fact, temperatures the rest of this week will be either right at or below average running through the weekend. 
Low pressure moving along the east coast has brought a very late season snowstorm for parts of New York State, Pennsylvania and West Virginia and heavy rain and thunderstorms for residents closer to the coast.  High pressure is building in the west and this leaves us sandwiched in between the two systems.  A cool northwest flow will remain in place today keeping temperatures in the upper 50s.  Low pressure will move in from the northwest Tuesday night and track just to our south Wednesday.  This may bring us a brief rise in temperatures, but then it looks like we fall back below average through this next weekend.  Looks like we may be paying a little for the record warmth we experienced this past March.
