Discussion
A strong cold front passed through the area late yesterday and has ushered in a noticeably colder air mass for the Mid-Atlantic region. Winds will continue to be quite strong today with gusts up to 35 mph or so from a northwesterly direction. It remains chilly and dry on Friday and then the next frontal system will cause showers around here on Saturday and it’ll become breezy and much milder as well for the first half of the weekend. Colder air returns to the Mid-Atlantic for Sunday following the passage of that next frontal system.
