Cold Front Set to Bring Below-Average Temperatures and Gusty Winds Early Next Week

A significant cold front is expected to sweep through Sunday night into Monday, delivering a noticeable drop in temperatures across the region. Forecast models show a strong likelihood of temperatures plunging well below the seasonal average for this time of year.

There is widespread agreement that low temperatures will dip into the frost and freeze zones by Monday night. Tuesday night is likely to be the coldest, with some areas—especially in higher elevations—experiencing lows in the 20s, but most will remain in the 30s. Daytime highs will also be unusually cool, struggling to climb out of the 50s. In fact, some locations in NETN and SWVA may not even see 60 degrees for several days following the front’s passage.

In addition to the cold, gusty winds will accompany the front as it moves in. Most areas can expect gusts between 20-30 MPH, with higher elevations possibly seeing winds in the 40-50 MPH range. While it’s uncertain whether the National Weather Service will issue a wind advisory, the breezy conditions are expected to be short-lived, mostly impacting Sunday into Monday overnight.
