Discussion
The warm up that began yesterday will intensify today and highs should reach the lower 70's on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, the warm up comes to a grinding halt on Sunday as a strong cold front slides through the Mid-Atlantic region with some shower activity and a much colder air mass will become quite noticeable by Sunday night along with a stiffening north-to-northwest wind. Colder-than-normal conditions will persist through mid-week in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor resulting in a chilly start to the month of April and we’ll have to watch a coastal storm which could impact the region in the Tuesday night/Wednesday morning time frame.
