Discussion
It’ll become much warmer today as a broad southwesterly flow of air develops ahead of an approaching cold frontal system. Showers will develop tonight and continue on Friday as the strong cold front closes in on the eastern seaboard. There can also be a few thunderstorms mixing in later tonight and Friday which can produce some strong winds and brief downpours. A secondary cold front will push through the area Saturday night/early Sunday with possible rain or snow showers and the winds will pick up quite dramatically. Sunday and Monday will be quite chilly for this time of year and temperatures may drop towards the freezing mark again by early Monday morning.
