Discussion
Milder weather will continue in the Mid-Atlantic region for the next couple of days with temperatures likely reaching 60 degrees each afternoon. There will be clouds and limited sun today and mostly cloudy skies on Saturday with the chance of showers as a cold front pushes through the region. The overall weather pattern will become colder next week and the front-end of this transition is going 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; however, colder air can wrap into the system from the north and west so there is a chance for an changeover to snow in some sections and accumulations cannot be ruled out.
