Brief Arctic Air Mass

The big weather story right now is the cold air heading our way, so I guess I have to talk about it briefly. Cold weather fans, this forecast is for you. A deep trough in the jet steam has developed over the East allowing an arctic air mass to spill out of Canada into the mid-Atlantic. The good news is that it will be short-lived once again. This has been the trend all winter season. The overall weather patterns have been fairly progressive so that has not allowed a prolonged period of cold air to hang around. So the trend continues as highs will only be in the 30's for one day. Then the jet stream slowly retreats back northward and mild air returns for early next week.
