After a bitter cold stretch under the fringes of the Polar Vortex, a “relative” warming trend develops this week but we still remain largely below average.

While still somewhat uncertain, we are expecting the coldest air in years to inundate the region late in the week into the upcoming weekend alongside a chance of snow.
