We move from lovely low-pressure into split flow and a stationary front. The good news is that the Northern Jet will continue to deliver cold temperatures to the region for the next couple of days. Strong end-of-February sun will be intense and warm our solar aspects, but not as drastically as it would with warmer temperatures.
