Discussion

A front has pushed off the east coast in the overnight hours and mostly sunny skies with cooler conditions will rule today in the Mid-Atlantic region. A secondary cool front will approach the area on Saturday with an increase in clouds and a couple of showers are possible late in the day and early tomorrow night. This second front is quite limited in moisture and any rainfall will be light and rather short-lived, but the air behind it is even cooler and the new week will start off with well below normal temperatures for this time of year. Highs on Sunday, for example, won’t be too far from the 60 degree mark with normal highs still around 68 degrees in DC. Looking ahead, progressively colder air masses are poised to reach the Midwest and Northeast US as we move through the last couple weeks of October.
