Cold Polar Air

Believe it or not, the last time we had a high temperature in the teens was November 12!  Today's temperature was a shocker in large part because it has been so warm - this month we are running on average almost 8 degrees above normal, unusual for sure. 

This graphic highlights the source region for our cold air - it is coming all the way from the polar region riding on Northwest winds.  Those winds will continue through the day on Monday as a high pressure system moves into region - we may not make it to 20 degrees! 

On Tuesday that high pressure will move to the south and east and winds will start to shift to the West and then Southwest - opening the door for warmer air to replace the cold.  It will still be cool on Tuesday though with highs in the low 20's.  A large storm system will also start to move towards us from the Southwest, bringing a combination of snow, ice and rain from late Wednesday thru late Friday. 

Stay warm!
