Discussion
The warm-up that began on Wednesday will actually intensify today and tomorrow ahead of a strong cold frontal system and high temperatures on both days should be at or above 70 degrees. Showers will overspread the area late tonight and continue on Friday with a thunderstorm or two possible, but the heaviest rain to fall is likely to come late tomorrow and tomorrow night. The rain can continue into early Saturday, but then cooler and drier air will pour into the Mid-Atlantic on stiff NW winds and it'll remain cooler-than-normal on Sunday as well. As a reminder, it is time this weekend to once again to turn back the clocks - a sure sign that winter is coming soon.
