Discussion              

The passage of a weak warm front overnight will pave the way for a milder day in the Mid-Atlantic region and then the passage of a cold front later tonight will pave the way for a much cooler middle of the week. Temperatures will continue to run “up and down” later in the week with a milder day coming on Thursday only to be followed by chillier weather for Friday - and it looks like it will stay quite cool for the upcoming weekend.
