Arctic air continued to linger over the mid-Atlantic northeast allowing for incredible cold high temperatures this afternoon. Sunday's high temperature was extremely cold as well, only reaching the upper 30s. Today was even colder, with Salisbury reaching 34 degrees and Dover stayed below freezing at 28 degrees. At least the winds were calm, or we could have been dealing with some brutal wind chill values. The last time we had high temperatures this cold was back in February of this year. Check this out, that coldest high temperatures ever for this date was 30 degrees in 1966.
For you cold weather fans, the forecast doesn't look to be in your favor. With the next storms system approaching, highs will reach the 60s on Wednesday but then fall back to the 40s for the end of the week. But looking over the next 10 days or so, there seems to be a pattern change possibly developing that would allow the jet stream to retreat northward and place the arctic air out west. This would allow some milder air to return to the peninsula.
