Discussion              

High pressure shifts to the western Atlantic Ocean over the next couple of days and this will promote a warming trend around here as Pacific Ocean air pushes eastward into the Mid-Atlantic region. As a result, temperatures will climb to near 50 degrees this afternoon and into the 50’s from Friday into early next week. The milder weather pattern will become wet on Saturday and rain is a good bet during the afternoon and evening hours. The new year should begin with some sunshine on Sunday and temperatures climbing well up into the 50’s.
