Tuesday Morning Chill On The Way

The cold front that moved through the Commonwealth Sunday left a noticeably cooler, drier airmass in place Monday, and not only here, but also across our region. Check out the low temperatures this morning (click image to enlarge), which dipped into the upper 30's in western Virginia.

The cold front made it into Northern Florida this morning, and as of this post, was halfway through the Sunshine State.

So it's fair to say this was a pretty strong front. Behind that front, high pressure will move into the Mid-Atlantic at the surface, keeping winds light overnight. With the cooler, drier airmass in place, combined with clearing skies, we should have a pretty chilly night Monday into Tuesday morning. Frost Advisories are in effect Tuesday morning from 3-9 a.m. for far western and north-central Virginia, where low temperatures are expected to drop into the mid-30's overnight. A few spots will probably reach the freezing mark, too.
In Central Virginia, we are expecting lows Tuesday morning in the upper 30's and low 40's.
