Discussion
It’ll remain wet and mild in the Mid-Atlantic region both today and tonight and there can be some patchy fog around as well. It turns even warmer on Friday with lingering rain showers possible early in the day and there can be brightening skies in the afternoon. Temperatures will surge on Friday to near 60 degrees for afternoon highs ahead of an incoming cold frontal system. Another storm system is then going to impact the Mid-Atlantic region during the second half of the weekend with one surface low pressure system (primary) heading into the Ohio Valley and a secondary likely to form near the Mid-Atlantic coastline. While there will be little cold air around initially, strong high pressure will build into southeastern Canada and act as a cold air source. This is likely to result in a changeover from rain-to-snow across much of the interior, higher elevation locations in the Mid-Atlantic and potentially, all the way down to the I-95 corridor on Sunday night.
