Discussion
A chilly start to the day and, although the afternoon will be slightly milder than yesterday, temperatures will stay below normal for this time of year as some clouds roll in. Milder air will try to push into the region by tomorrow and the transition from cold to warm will be accompanied by scattered showers and thunderstorms anytime from late tonight through tomorrow night. Once the milder air becomes established in the region, high temperatures are likely to surpass the 80 degree mark later in the week. One final note, cicadas have begun to emerge in northern Virginia in recent days and, as the milder air returns around here, that resurgence of the insects will advance northward.
