Discussion
It turns even milder today in the Mid-Atlantic region with afternoon temperatures likely peaking here near 60 degrees, but showers will be possible by late this afternoon as a second warm frontal system approaches the area and rain is likely tonight. On Wednesday, the wet and unseasonably mild conditions will continue ahead of an approaching strong cold frontal system and winds will become quite noticeable as well. The passage of the strong cold front on Wednesday evening will result in a sharp drop in temperatures and rain can change to snow for a brief time in the I-95 corridor region. Temperatures on Thursday will be in sharp contrast with the highs of today and tomorrow and it’ll stay chilly on Friday. A warm-up will then commence on Saturday and we’ll get back towards the 60 degree mark by Sunday afternoon.
