Discussion              

After a chilly day on Sunday, it’ll turn a bit milder today and stay warmer-than-normal through the week.  High pressure will be in control in much of the eastern US for the next several days although there will be a couple of weak frontal systems to deal at times.  A stronger cold front will head this way this weekend and that is likely to result in a cool down by Sunday. One final note, record high temperature were indeed set on Saturday in DC (70 degrees), Philly (68 degrees) and New York City’s Central Park (66 degrees).
