Discussion
It turned noticeably milder in the Mid-Atlantic region on Thursday as high pressure shifted offshore and the mild conditions will continue today ahead of an incoming frontal system. The front will set off some shower activity tonight, but – as has been the case in recent weeks – this will not be a significant rain event. Colder air pushes into the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend on the heels of the frontal passage. Looking ahead, a strong storm system will head to the Midwest/Great Lakes during the first half of next week and likely result in rain and wind here from Tuesday into Wednesday - and this time the rainfall may be significant.
