Some Rain and then Some Sunshine

Synopsis: 
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we won't be seeing a break from the rain here in Pennsylvania for at least another day. A strengthening low pressure system (Winter Storm Ceasar) is currently producing blizzard conditions in portions of the northern plains and is forecast to move across the Great Lakes and up into Canada tomorrow. So, we won't get the worse of this system, but we will get the associated cold front swinging through the commonwealth Monday night. In the wake of the storm, temperatures will plunge to more seasonable levels in the lower 40's and the skies will begin to clear, leaving us with a lovely second half of the week.
This Week:
The front looks to pass through the center of the commonwealth around 00Z Tuesday morning and leave much cooler temperatures in it's wake.  The temps will drop surprisingly from Monday (we're looking at a ~20 degree drop over a 24hr period) but will be level out in the upper 30's, which is average for this time of year.
Overall, after the rain clears out, expect clearing skies and building high pressure throughout the rest of the work week.
