Discussion              

High pressure pushed offshore on Tuesday and milder air has pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region as a low-level southwesterly flow formed on the backside of the anticyclone. As with most recent warm-ups, the warm up will become accompanied by shower activity beginning as early as late tonight and perhaps lasting right through much of the day on Saturday.  By Saturday night, a cold front will pass through the region and drier air should follow to close out the upcoming weekend.
