Discussion              

The unusual chill will stick around into early tomorrow and then much warmer air to our south and west will an advance in this direction. Initially, the warmer air will be forced to ride up and over the entrenched cold air mass late tonight and early Wednesday and this “overrunning” process can result in a bit of rain or ice. It should turn much milder tomorrow afternoon with a plain rain shower possible along with some partial sunshine. By Thursday, the warmer air will win out in its entirety and temperatures are likely to surge to 75 degrees in the DC metro region. This dramatic warm up on Thursday will come at a cost, however, as showers are likely and a strong-to-severe thunderstorm can form along and just ahead of incoming strong cold front.  That same front may cause another outbreak of severe weather later tomorrow into Wednesday night across much of the same area that was hit last week (Deep South, Tennessee Valley).  The passage of this next cold front will result in a cooler air mass around here for Friday and it remains on the cool side this weekend.
