Discussion
Today will be another below-normal day in the Mid-Atlantic region in terms of overall temperatures, but a warming trend will begin on Thursday as our low-level winds will switch to a southwesterly direction on the back side of departing high pressure. The warming trend will intensify on Friday and Saturday and the lower 70’s will be likely as we start the weekend. Showers are a threat for Sunday as the next cold frontal system arrives from the Midwest and it’ll turn colder as we begin the new week (and the new month) on Monday.
