Clear Skies Today, But Cold Front On The Way

High pressure is moving over the forecast area today producing clear skies and light winds.  However, temperatures remain cool today with high temperatures averaging around 4 to 8 degrees below normal.  

Winds will shift to the southwest tonight and tomorrow ahead of the approaching cold front.  Clouds will begin to increase by tomorrow morning as mid and upper level moisture increases from the Gulf of Mexico.  As the cold front approaches, a new low will develop along the coastal plain and move into the Hudson Valley.  This track will not produce frozen precipitation over the forecast area.  This is clearly a plain cold front passage for the region, however a more wintery outcome can be expected over western New York.  

Expect rain to enter the forecast area by late Monday afternoon and continue through Tuesday morning.  Rain will mix with and change over to snow over the higher elevations as CAA begins.  High temperatures on Tuesday will likely occur in the early afternoon as the 850 MB front moves through, then a drop in temperatures can be expected in the late afternoon and early evening.  Most locations will be below freezing by late Tuesday night.
