Discussion
It turns milder today in the Mid-Atlantic region and then it looks like we’ll have to deal with a very active frontal passage from late tomorrow night into Friday morning. Temperatures will surge on Thursday ahead of the approaching strong cold front and showers will become numerous by tomorrow night. In fact, some of the rain can fall heavily for a brief time from later tomorrow night into early Friday and there can be a thunderstorm or two mixed into the picture. Of more concern, however, is the likelihood for powerful winds from late tomorrow night into early Friday and there can be potentially damaging wind gusts; especially, immediately after the front pushes through the region.
