Discussion
It turns even milder here today with afternoon temperatures likely peaking here in the low-to-mid 60’s, but showers will be possible during the mid-day and 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 highs both today and tomorrow and it’ll stay chilly on Friday. A warm-up will then commence on Saturday and we’ll likely get back to 60+ degrees for the second half of the weekend.
