Discussion
A warm front will push through the region today and it’ll turn much milder with occasional rain or drizzle and temperatures reaching the middle 50’s. A strong cold front will slowly advance towards the region on Tuesday and it’ll stay quite mild with temperatures climbing into the 60’s and there will be more shower activity. A wave of low pressure is likely to form along the cold frontal boundary zone on Tuesday night as the colder air begins to arrive and there is a likelihood for rain changing to snow and some accumulations are likely from late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Once that wave of low pressure passes by the northeast of here, the flood gates will open and cold air will pour into the Mid-Atlantic region. High temperatures on Thursday will struggle to reach the middle 30’s in the DC metro region.
