Discussion              

The passage of a cold front late yesterday will pave the way for a much cooler mid-week in the DC metro region as our recent “up and down” temperature pattern continues for another few days. It turns much milder again on Thursday following the passage of a warm front and then cooler again at the end of the work week. Looking ahead, it looks like it’ll stay on the chilly side on both days this weekend and right into the early part of next week. One other note, for those interested, it looks like it’ll be chilly and dry on Saturday in State College, PA for the noontime game between Penn State and Michigan.
