Discussion    

Some wild weather in the Mid-Atlantic region during the next few days. There will be unusual warmth today throughout the Mid-Atlantic region with record-breaking highs possible in some spots - all ahead of a strong cold frontal system. In addition, winds will be increasingly strong and gust past 50+ mph later in the day from a southwesterly direction and they’ll remain strong tonight shifting to a northwesterly direction following the passage of a strong cold front. Showers are likely late in the day and this evening and perhaps a strong-to-severe thunderstorm as the front arrives. Much colder air pushes in on Tuesday and Tuesday night and low pressure will head towards the coastline on Wednesday. It can be cold enough at mid-week for snow in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region and some accumulations are on the table….stay tuned.
