Discussion
There can be a repeat performance of Saturday in the I-95 corridor with a strong frontal passage at mid-week and possible strong thunderstorm activity. The new week will start off on the chilly side, but much milder conditions will push back into the region for Tuesday and especially Wednesday. Unfortunately, the chance for rain will increase along with those expected milder conditions. By late Wednesday, a strong cold front will approach from the Great Lakes with showers and possible strong thunderstorms and its passage will usher in colder air for the second half of the week. A fast-moving “clipper” system could bring us some light snow or rain on Friday.
