Much warmer-than-normal air that originated over the Pacific Ocean has enveloped much of the nation this week and some of this will reach the northeastern states on Friday and Saturday. In fact, temperatures both tomorrow and Saturday can climb to or even slightly above the 60-degree mark in Washington, D.C. and the 50’s are likely in Philly. The warming trend will come to an end later this weekend with an initial cold frontal passage on Saturday night and then a secondary later Sunday. It turns cooler on Sunday behind the first front and then windy and even colder behind the secondary for Sunday night and Monday.
By late next week, some important changes will begin to take place in the upper atmosphere across North America. First, an intense upper-level ridge of high pressure is likely to form near Alaska and the west coast of Canada replacing a trough of low pressure that has dominated that region in recent weeks. At the same time, an upper-level trough of low pressure will deepen over the eastern half of the US in response to a more active subtropical jet stream that has been largely missing in action in recent weeks. This combination will increase the chance for additional cold air intrusions into the US from Canada beginning late next week and can increase the chance for storms to develop across the southern and eastern states.

The passage of a weak cold front last night may knock off a few degrees from yesterday’s high temperatures, but we should still reach into above-normal territory. It becomes even milder on Friday and Saturday ahead of the next cold frontal system with temperatures on both days likely nearing 60 degrees. Occasional showers are likely on Friday to go along with those milder conditions and there will be periods of rain on Friday night and Saturday...some of the rain can be heavy at times. A cold front passes through the Mid-Atlantic region on Saturday night and it’ll turn chilly Sunday and even colder on Monday.

Milder air is pushing northward through the region this morning over some low-level cold air and the result is patchy fog and drizzle that can stick around for another few hours. Skies will clear some later today after the passage of a warm front and the winds will pick up during the PM hours with gusts possible to 30 mph. The passage of a weak cold front later tonight may knock off a few degrees for Thursday, but then temperatures will climb well up into the 50’s on Friday and Saturday. Occasional showers are likely on Friday to go along with those milder conditions and periods of rain are quite likely during the first half of the upcoming weekend…some of the rain on Saturday can be heavy at times. A strong cold front passes through the Mid-Atlantic region on Saturday night and it’ll turn moderately colder for Sunday and Monday.
