The Cold Has Arrived!

Temperatures dropped quickly yesterday as a cold front passed through the area during the afternoon and evening hours.  The map below shows the temperature change in the last 24 hours across the country, and the position of that front just off of Kentucky's eastern border is quite visible due to the drop in temperatures it is leaving in its wake.  As this cold air mass continues to work its way across the US, our high temperatures are going to be about 20° cooler than they were yesterday.  We will top out in the low to mid 40s today, and the rest of this week will not be any warmer as temperatures will struggle to even make it to 40°.  High pressure will be building in behind this frontal system and bringing clear conditions to go along with our cold temperatures, but is still off to our northwest at this time.  So, for today, we will still be dealing with some lingering cloud cover.
