The Cold Continues

The cold air is settling in after a brief break early Monday morning. Temperatures will get progressive colder with Thursday being the coldest. A slight moderation is expected before the next storm system crosses the area on Saturday bringing a return to much below average temperatures.

The next cold front is on track to move through on Wednesday. Temperatures on Thursday will struggle to get to 20 degrees for a high. The dry nature of the air mass and wind direction should keep most of the lake effect snow in Western New York and Northeastern Pennsylvania.

The arctic high pressure will be moving east of the area on Friday allowing  for a slow out of the south and a slight moderation of temperatures.

Looking at the extended, temperatures will remain colder than normal but may moderate as we head into next week as a ridge builds in the Southeastern states and the trough axis slides to the west.
