A massive cold front pushes through, plummeting temperatures across most of the country. It was a rather cool weekend, which led into a rather decent sized storm of wintry-mix and plummeting temperatures in the area. This storm was brought on by a combination of a massive low pressure trough, winds from the north which cooled the region, and the current path of the jet stream. It has been a mostly cloudy day here, with the sun coming through the clouds at times, though not much. Highs are only expected to reach the mid-30's as the day progresses. The next few days we should expect a small rise in temperatures but chances for precipitation every day for the rest of the work week.

| This pressure map shows the current pressure systems and fronts over the country. A large low pressure trough pushed through yesterday, bringing with it a line of storms across the eastern section of the front. A few high pressure domes are affecting pressure in our region currently, as the strongest of the low pressure systems is towards the Eastern Seaboard. |

| This shows the timeline for the cold front moving through the area. As we can see, the front has moved past us, so we will be experiencing a slight warm up over the next few days. Long term predictions have a drastic warm up occurring towards the end of the weekend. |

| This shows the current track of the jet stream over the country, currently. We can see that the path is very vertical, and we are getting a flush of cold air because of it. |
