But First, We Have a Huge Cooldown to Deal With!

A huge trough is expected to really dig into the east over the next few days. This, will bring the east more unseasonably cool air and damp weather in the East starting Sunday and lasting most of this coming work week. For a lot of areas in the GLs and the NE could be stuck in the 40s/50s for highs Sunday-Thursday, with frosts/freezes in some areas at night. Friday, warm air will start surging into the southern GLs/southern Mid Atlantic, but it will take until Sunday for the warm air to completely move into northern New England. And, not only will these areas have several days of very chilly temps, the models raise the question: Will it snow Monday morning downwind of Lakes Erie/Ontario? Possibly. Surface temps will dip into the upper 30s and 850MB temps will range from -1 to -5, so maybe some wet flakes will mix in...So, before we get a brief preview of summer next weekend, we have to get a harsh reminder that it is still spring.
