Discussion
The weather pattern has been one featuring copious amounts of clouds in recent days across the Mid-Atlantic region, but sunshine should make a return on Thursday and Friday. With the return of sunshine, a warming trend will develop and temperatures should climb back to the 85 degree mark for afternoon highs by week’s end. A strong cold front will arrive this weekend and bring with it a chance of late day showers and thunderstorms on Saturday and Saturday night and then noticeably cooler conditions will develop for Sunday and Monday.
