The new week began with a noticeable chill as regional temperatures struggled to climb beyond the upper 40s and low 50s on Monday. Many areas reported brisk winds that made conditions feel even colder, especially during the early morning hours.
Local meteorologists noted that clear skies overnight contributed to the cooler start, allowing heat to escape and temperatures to drop quickly before sunrise. Commuters experienced frosty windshields and pockets of light morning fog in lower-lying areas.
According to the latest weather updates, conditions are expected to remain cool through midweek. Afternoon highs will stay in the lower 50s, while nighttime lows could dip into the 30s in some inland zones.
Meteorologists expect a gradual warming trend by the weekend, with temperatures climbing closer to seasonal norms. However, another cold front might approach the region early next week, potentially bringing more chilly air.
“This is a typical early-winter pattern with back-to-back fronts that keep temperatures below normal,” local weather experts explained.
