Discussion
A colder weather pattern is now taking hold in the Mid-Atlantic region and we’ll experience much more seasonable temperatures for the foreseeable future. Along with the change to colder and drier weather, we’ll also experience more in the way of sunshine compared to the recent persistently cloudy stretch. There will be another cold frontal passage late Sunday which will usher in a true Arctic air mass for Monday and Tuesday. As a result, temperatures won’t climb higher than the 30’s for highs - maybe not even out of the 20's - and there will be a stiff NW wind causing even lower wind chill values.
