Discussion

Following last night’s cold frontal passage, colder air will pour into the Mid-Atlantic region today on stiff NW winds and it’ll stay quite cool through the upcoming weekend. A reinforcing cool air mass will arrive on Sunday keeping us on the cool side at the beginning of next week. Following that, a major cold shot will plunge from Canada into the mid-section of the nation early next week and then spread to the east coast by mid-week resulting in a very cold second half of the week. There is also the chance for a storm to form late next week near the coastline and the result would be a threat for rain and/or snow in the Mid-Atlantic region.
