Discussion

Winter is now on a break and noticeably milder weather conditions will continue right through mid-week. In fact, temperatures on Wednesday should climb to 60 degrees ahead of a cold frontal system. Showers are likely this afternoon and early evening in the I-95 corridor as an initial cold front pushes through the region. Another cold front will generate a heavy rain event in the region on Wednesday as temperatures climb into near record warmth territory ahead of a second cold frontal system. Colder air pushes back into the Mid-Atlantic region for the latter part of the week following the passage of the secondary front.
