Discussion
After a cool weekend, temperatures will rise noticeably today as high pressure strengthens in the Southeast US. In fact, temperatures should climb to near 60 degrees as we begin the new work week and it’ll stay mild for the next couple of days as well. Unfortunately, the warm up will come with numerous chances of rain as a slow-moving cold front becomes the focus area for multiple waves of low pressure. Rain is possible on each day from tomorrow through Friday – some of it is likely to be heavy at times - and we’ll have to watch for the outside chance of some frozen precipitation later in the week as colder air seeps into the Mid-Atlantic region.
