Discussion              

Today will be another cold day in the Mid-Atlantic region, but with much less wind than Tuesday so it’ll feel less harsh and it will certainly be a good day to travel with precipitation-free conditions.  It turns slightly milder on Thursday with high temperatures likely to bounce back up into the middle 50’s, but the warm up will be brief.  Another strong cold front pushes through the area by early Friday and it’ll turn out to be another cold and windy day as we end the work week.  The weekend remain on the cold side and a couple of upper air disturbances will have to be closely monitored in coming days for possible impact during the early part of next week.  If pieces fall into place at the right time, there could be some snow and/or rain shower activity in the region during the Sunday/Monday time frame…stay tuned.
