Discussion
Today will be the coldest day of the season so far in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor with many spots not able to climb out of the 40’s for afternoon high temperatures. Temperatures will remain well below-normal tonight with scattered frost likely towards morning, but it’ll become milder to start the weekend ahead of the next strong cold front. The approach of that next front will be quite noticeable late Saturday as winds pick up and then temperatures will plunge Saturday night with strong northerly winds throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Sunday will have a feel of late fall or early winter to it in much of the Northeast US; especially, in the higher elevations where there can be a touch of snow from an early season Great Lakes snow event. Frost is possible again around here late Sunday night/early Monday morning with that late weekend cold air outbreak and yet another cold air outbreak is possible by the middle of next week.
