Discussion
A warm front is going to push northward through the Mid-Atlantic region today with scattered showers and its passage tonight will set the stage for an unseasonably warm end to the work week. A strong cold front is going to arrive here tomorrow night and there are likely to be some showers ahead of it and perhaps a strong thunderstorm or two. In addition, the winds will pick up noticeably on Friday and temperatures should soar into the 70’s following the lower 50's for highs this afternoon. Following the Friday night cold frontal passage, it’ll turn progressively colder this weekend and we’ll have to closely monitor the threat for precipitation by early next week as strong high pressure builds to our north across southeastern Canada. There is the chance that if the precipitation arrives early enough on Sunday night or early Monday, it could begin as snow or a mix of rain and snow given that the entrenched cold air mass will be slow to retreat.
