Discussion

High pressure edged eastward on Tuesday afternoon, and it will slide off the coast today opening the door for unseasonably warm air to our west to move into the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures will surge today to near 70 degrees and likely into the lower 70’s on Thursday afternoon. It stays very mild at the end of the work week; however, the pattern becomes more unsettled with a chance of showers on Friday, maybe a thunderstorm. It cools down some this weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region, but still mild for this time of year, and then a colder-than-normal air mass reaches the area for the first half of next week.
