Saturday

Sunday
Partly sunny, windy, cold, upper 40’s; temperatures could go below freezing late at night
Monday

Discussion
One low pressure system will push to our northwest during the next 24-36 hours and a second one will form off the Mid-Atlantic coastline. The result around here will be periods of rain from late today into early Friday and a strong thunderstorm or two can be mixed into the picture. Looking ahead, an impressive cold blast will arrive in the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend and highs on Sunday threaten to stay in the upper 40’s raising the possibility of below-freezing readings by early Monday morning in many suburban locations and again early Tuesday morning (i.e., watch out for sensitive outdoor plants).
