Discussion
It turned milder on Monday as high pressure shifted off the east coast and today will feature low pressure heading from the Mississippi Valley to the eastern states and there will be continued mild conditions. Occasional rain or drizzle is likely today, tonight and on Wednesday and patchy fog is possible at times; especially, in the overnight hours. By early tomorrow night, a strong cold front will be approaching our area and this could bring some heavier downpours as well as a possible strong thunderstorm or two. Following the front, much colder air will return to the Mid-Atlantic region on late Wednesday night and Thursday and it'll stick around right through the upcoming weekend with below-normal temperatures.
