Brr, the mercury hit the single digits this morning of 7 degrees. The crisp cold air east of the crest will eventually give way to the warmer SW flow today. Dry conditions will continue today with steadily rising freezing levels.
Long-term: The high pressure that has dominated the weather patterns will gradually wither and drift east during the next few days. This will provide the clearance for a system to make through tomorrow night and or early Friday morning. High pressure re-establishes itself on Friday and Saturday for a few more days of dry but warmer weather. A pattern change to warmer westerly flow early next week, is showing up on the long range models.
