Discussion
Following the passage of a warm front, winds will pick up in intensity today and temperatures will climb to noticeably milder levels and make a run at 60 degrees. A cold front will arrive later tonight and there will be a downward trend in temperatures going into the weekend as high pressure builds across southeastern Canada. The next strong cold front will arrive in the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday and its passage will usher in colder-than-normal air for much of the first half of next week. By the middle of next week, moisture from a quick-moving system could arrive with enough cold air still in place for snow and/or ice in some parts of the Mid-Atlantic region.
