Discussion

Milder weather is on the way to the Mid-Atlantic region for the next few days with temperatures likely to peak on Saturday afternoon in the upper 50’s despite featuring plenty of clouds and the good chance of PM showers. The overall weather pattern will change next week to colder-than-normal conditions for the central and eastern states and the front-end of this transition is likely to be accompanied by a strong storm system from later Monday into Tuesday. Given the lack of cold air at the onset, odds favor rain initially in the local area, but colder air can wrap into the system from the north and west so there is a chance for an eventual changeover to snow. It turns quite cold and windy by the middle of next week on the backside of this storm…all part of the upcoming significant pattern change.
