-- Changed Discussion --
Mid and high levels clouds still impacting portions of the NYC metro and locations to the east. This has kept temperatures in these locations a bit cooler. Highs along the coast may not get out of the 30s this afternoon. Otherwise, a broad upper trough remains across southeastern Canada while Arctic high pressure continues to build into the Tennessee Valley through today. With a cold airmass in place temperatures about 10 degrees below normal for the beginning of meteorological winter today.

&& .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... The broad upper trough remains over southeastern Canada and into the eastern United States as shortwaves rotate through the flow tonight into Tuesday. The trough then begins to shift east Tuesday night. Meanwhile Arctic high pressure builds in to the west tonight through Tuesday and remains Tuesday night. Dry weather continues with temperatures remaining up to 10 degrees below normal as a northwest flow persists. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... The long term starts off with the region under a more zonal flow aloft on Wednesday. Another trough and shortwave then drops out Canada moving into the Great Lakes region Wednesday night, eventually moving into the Northeast for Thursday. At the surface, high pressure south of the region weakens a bit, allowing a clipper type low to pass north of the region on Thursday. This low will also send a cold front across the area during the daytime Thursday. Some moisture accompanies this system, and there will be a chance of light precipitation Wednesday night into Thursday. Will keep POPs at chance for now. Temperatures across the interior may be cold enough for snow showers, however with a southerly flow at the surface and aloft ahead of the cold front, temperatures should be warm enough for just some rain showers. A mix of rain/snow showers can not be ruled out closer to the coast. Behind the front, high pressure returns along with a an even colder airmass for the end of next week. Another low pressure system may impact the area late in the weekend into early next week. && .AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
