Discussion
Unfortunately, the nice and warm weekend that we just experienced does not mean that the cold air outbreaks are over for the Mid-Atlantic region. In fact, there could be some record or near record cold in much of the central and eastern US by the upcoming weekend. It’ll turn out to be quite windy today and just a bit cooler compared to Sunday and then turn even cooler for the remainder of the work week. An even colder air mass for this time of year will arrive by the upcoming Mother's Day weekend and highs on Saturday are likely to be confined to the 50's with overnight lows in the 30's and it'll remain chilly on Sunday.
