Storm Team Monday morning forecast (03/25/2013)

The cold front has swept away the cloudiness and thunderstorms … as well as the lingering warmth!  Northwesterly winds are funneling in plenty of northern cold air, returning the region to a feel of mid-winter for the next few days.  Temperatures today will rise to only around 60° and the lower 60s with a fairly stiff breeze.  The air is quite dry, so sunshine should be abundant with only a few passing thin clouds.  Tonight, we’ll maintain a slight breeze, but lows will still dip well into the 30s.  A brief light freeze can’t be ruled out, but the wind will keep temperatures from falling to extremely low levels.  The colder wave will be reinforced by a dry cold front tomorrow, which will stretch below-average readings and sunshine through most of this week.  A slight warm-up is forecast over the Easter weekend with a few more clouds.
