Discussion              

It’ll remain quite warm today in the DC metro region, but there will be some cloudiness this morning and a late day shower cannot be ruled out. The weather becomes more unsettled on Thursday with the approach of a strong surface cold front edging this way from the Ohio Valley. It’ll remain warm tomorrow with a gusty SW wind and afternoon/evening showers are likely…maybe even a strong-to-severe thunderstorm.  The best chance for a strong-to-severe thunderstorm later tomorrow will likely end up being just south and east of the DC metro region. It’ll turn cooler on Friday following the passage of the cold frontal system with a chilly air mass moving into the northeastern states. High pressure with its origins in Canada will take control of the weather and there should be some sunshine on both weekend days; however, it’ll feel quite cool in the shade and during nighttime hours.
