Discussion              

High pressure will remain in control of our weather for the next few days and we’ll turn milder than recent days with some sunshine on each day.  A weak cold front will swing through the region tonight and another one on Thursday night, but they will not have much of an impact on temperatures around here.  In fact, we’ll turn even milder for the first half of the upcoming weekend.  A much stronger cold front is destined to arrive here on Saturday night and it’ll return us to much colder weather conditions for the Sunday/Monday/Tuesday time period.  Low pressure will form later this weekend near the east coast and it has a chance to generate some snow in the Mid-Atlantic region in the Sunday/Monday time frame…something to closely monitor next few days.
