Discussion
High pressure took control of the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region on Sunday and the new work week will start off with plenty of sunshine, but with cool, breezy conditions. A cold front will slide through the region during the morning without much fanfare (i.e., dry), but its passage will usher in much colder air compared to recent weeks. There will be a couple of chances for the first frost/freeze of the season in the Mid-Atlantic region this week with likely the best chance coming late Wednesday night/early Thursday.
