Discussion

A warm front will push through the region later tonight and it will generate occasional showers in the area and some patchy fog could form in the overnight hours. A strong cold front will arrive on Wednesday bringing with it occasional showers and maybe a strong thunderstorm or two and it’ll become much milder just ahead of the front. It promises to be a breezy and cold on Thursday for the Nationals home opener and then there is another strong cold front to deal with on Friday. Colder conditions this weekend could be accompanied by some snow depending on the movement of low pressure along a frontal boundary zone.
