Discussion

The quick thumping of snow early this morning that dropped anywhere from a coating to an inch or two was associated with milder air trying to advance into the Mid-Atlantic region and it will finally succeed and become noticeably milder during the second half of the week. A strong cold front, however, will cross the region on Friday and this will begin a downward trend in temperatures after a 3-day break in the cold during the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday time period. The front may actually generate some strong thunderstorm activity in the Mid-Atlantic region on Friday with some gusty winds while temperatures climb to or just past the 60 degree mark. Much colder air will return to the region later next week.
