Discussion

Very mild air for this time of year will stick around through much of the day on Saturday and there could even be record-breaking temperatures in some spots in the Mid-Atlantic region this afternoon, tomorrow and/or Saturday. With the warm up comes the likelihood of patchy fog during the late night and early morning time periods. On Saturday, a strong cold front will be approaching us from the Great Lakes region and it will generate occasional PM rain around here and even a possible thunderstorm or two as it remains quite mild for one last day. Following the passage of the cold front, temperatures on Sunday and Monday will return to much more seasonal levels and winds will kick up out of the NW as we close out the weekend.
