Discussion
The anticipated weather pattern change to colder for the Mid-Atlantic region has begun and there will be more frequent cold air outbreaks in the next few weeks compared to the last few. An impressive frontal passage late Saturday drastically changed conditions from the balmy 70’s during the afternoon to the 30’s by late evening along with strong winds, some ice pellets and even snow in many areas of the Mid-Atlantic. The first true Arctic blast of the season will continue to have its grips on the region both today and tomorrow with temperatures well below normal for this time of year. A frontal system will arrive in the Wednesday/Thursday time frame with showers and just a bit of a warm up.
