.DISCUSSION...
As of 130 AM Mon...

KEY MESSAGE 1...

Any moisture or puddles remaining on roads will freeze this
morning, leading to patchy black ice through mid morning for
most of the area. Lows of 25 to 30 deg expected. SPS continues
through mid morning highlighting the threat.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

Another Arctic blast is expected behind the reinforcing front,
leading to well below normal temps through Wednesday. Low temps
will reach the low to mid 20s tonight, and when factoring in
wind chills it will feel like 15 to 20 each morning. We will be
close to Cold Weather Advisory criteria both Tuesday morning
(wind chills), and Wednesday morning (air temps). Wed morning is
the coldest with high pressure directly overhead with lows in
the teens for all areas away from the immediate coast.

Key MESSAGE 3...

Deep troughing over the Eastern US is expected through the rest
of the week into the weekend, keeping below normal temps in
place. A southern stream system brings the next chance for
precipitation to ENC. Still alot of uncertainty this weekend,
in the synoptic and mesoscale details. However, most 00z model
guidance continues to trend colder and wetter. There is potential
for this system to bring snow and/or ice impacts to the area.
Will continue to keep p-types rain and/or snow in the forecast,
though still potential for freezing rain and/or sleet,
depending on the warm nose aloft. Stay tuned to the forecast
over the next several days with the increasing threat for wintry
wx.

mile visibilities will persist in these areas for the next hour
or so, with KOAJ right on the edge of this.

week as high pressure builds in.
