Discussion              

Impressive cold for this time of year in the DC metro region with back-to-back nights featuring lows well down in the 20’s. High pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday and then will shift offshore by mid-week.  As a result, temperatures will climb towards the 60 degree mark on Tuesday and Wednesday for afternoon highs and it’ll turn even milder later in the week. The second half of the week will likely carry an off-and-on shower threat as a couple of frontal systems will impact the region.
