Discussion              

A chilly air mass continues to reside in the northeastern part of the nation anchored by high pressure to our northwest and low pressure to our northeast.  It turns slightly milder for the weekend, and it should stay rain-free until perhaps the Sunday evening time frame at which time showers could arrive here from an approaching frontal system. In fact, the weather remains unsettled here for much of next week with multiple systems crossing the country in a west-to-east fashion. In addition, another cold air mass is destined to arrive here at the end of next week in a continuation of a weather pattern that has resulted in numerous cold air outbreaks in recent weeks.
