Discussion              

As high pressure shifts to the southeastern states over the next few days, milder Pacific Ocean air will advance from west-to-east into the Mid-Atlantic region. As a result, a gradual warming trend will bring our temperatures to near 50 degrees by tomorrow afternoon and then into the 50’s on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The milder weather pattern will become increasingly moist by the weekend and there will be a good chance of showers on Saturday to close out the month and the year of 2022. The weekend can close out quite mild on Sunday (New Year’s Day) with some sunshine and temperatures climbing to near the 60 degree mark.
