Discussion

December has been quite warm and just full of cloudy days...today will be no exception. Temperatures should climb to near the 50 degree mark later today along with those persistent cloudy skies and showers could arrive after 4pm or so and then continue through the evening. It'll start to turn colder on Thursday as high pressure builds into the region and the return of more "normal" cold air will increase our chances for sunshine on Thursday, Friday and right through the weekend which will remain on the cold side. This late week cold shot signals an overall pattern change which will allow for more sustained cold air outbreaks in the Mid-Atlantic region during the month of January and perhaps even beyond.
