Discussion
Today will be another damp day in the Mid-Atlantic region with an occasional shower or some patchy drizzle that’ll continue into the overnight hours as a strong cold front approaches from the west. That front will slide through early tomorrow and usher in a much colder air mass for the upcoming weekend. Winds will kick up tomorrow afternoon behind the frontal passage and temperatures will begin to slide. Both weekend days will feature afternoon temperatures primarily in the 30’s despite some sunshine each day. Looking ahead, next week looks quite active with multiple threats and plenty of cold air around. A wave of low pressure may generate some snow or snow showers on Sunday night and/or Monday and then another system may impact the region with snow or rain by Tuesday...stay tuned.
