During the day today a cold front moved through the region, bringing much colder and drier air into the area. On Wednesday morning we expect to see some scattered frost in higher elevations and more northern locations as the cold air settles in, and on Thursday morning the temperatures could be even colder and the frost more extensive due to calm winds and radiational cooling leading to cold air drainage into low-lying areas. If you live in an area that is prone to frost, you will want to watch temperature conditions carefully to see how cold it gets. This is close to the average date of first fall frost for many of these locations, but it feels like a shock after the warm weather we have been having.
