The mild to warm
temperatures across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast will be erased Monday as a
cold front races east. Temperatures remained well above normal across much of
the East from Rochester and Bradford through Pittsburgh and Charleston Saturday
night. The mild weather extended up into New England as well.
Very nice conditions were
found in the Southeast with widespread 80s in Florida and 70s in the remainder
of the Gulf states. This warm weather was caused by a surge of gulf air, thanks
to southerly winds around high pressure centered off the East Coast. The
southerly winds have brought abundant moisture, which led to the formation of
dense fog over areas of the mid-Atlantic and New England with snow cover on the
ground.

| NOAA: 48 Hour Forecast of Fronts Issued Jan. 14, 2013 |
The aforementioned
frontal boundary will stall across the southern mid-Atlantic Monday into
Tuesday bringing a good deal of rain to southern Virginia and parts of the
Carolinas. This will slow the progress of the colder air into the Southeast,
but by Tuesday, temperatures will struggle to get out of the 40s as far south
as Raleigh, Charlotte, and Norfolk.
