Discussion

After a cold start to the day, temperatures will modify this afternoon and a strengthening southwesterly flow of air will warm it up even more on Thursday. It should stay rain-free today, but a warm frontal system is likely to generate showers around here late Thursday and/or tomorrow night - perhaps even a thunderstorm or two mixed in. A “major league” cold front will then arrive in the eastern US on Friday and it will usher in a colder-than-normal stretch of weather for the Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, and Northeast US beginning this weekend and lasting for perhaps a week-to-ten days. In addition to the cold, there will be one or more opportunities for early spring snow in the Northeast US during this upcoming stretch.
