Discussion              

A cold front passed through the region late yesterday and, in its wake, today will feature chilly and increasingly windy conditions with NW winds gusting to 30 mph or so. It stays chilly and dry on Wednesday, but then turns somewhat milder on Thursday ahead of the next cold frontal system. That next front will bring us a threat of PM showers on Friday and then another chilly air mass should push into the Mid-Atlantic region for the weekend.
