Discussion
The overall weather pattern changed to a milder one on Sunday in the Mid-Atlantic region and it’ll become quite active as well for much of the week ahead. Some rain is likely here from later today into early tonight as a strong upper-level trough slides east from the Midwest and then a soaking rain is likely late Tuesday night and Wednesday with the approach of a strong cold frontal system. The rain can be heavy at times from late Tuesday night into Wednesday with 1-2 inches possible around here and a thunderstorm can be mixed into the picture. Following the passage of the cold front, it turns much colder here later Wednesday night and stays quite cold on Thursday and Friday with well below-normal temperatures on each of those days.
