Chillier Conditions Expected This Week

We experienced unseasonably warm conditions his past weekend and had a cold front move through the commonwealth Sunday evening. This low pressure system moved off the coast yesterday leaving us with colder and windier conditions.

As for today, expect the winds to die down and temperatures to remain chilly with rain showers expected later this afternoon and into the evening. This comes from a follow-up low pressure system passing through the Great Lakes region.

The rain will be short lived, however, as high pressure lifts to our area on Wednesday and hovers above Northeast region for the remainder of the week. With that, we will expect temperatures to be below average for the rest of this week and into the foreseeable future.
