Discussion
After another chilly start to the day, mainly sunny skies will help to boost afternoon temperatures to near 70 degrees for afternoon highs. A cold front will slide across the region on Wednesday tomorrow bringing with it a few showers, maybe a thunderstorm, but not a significant rain event. The passage of the cold front will usher in another chilly air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region for the second half of the week. Temperatures are likely to drop into the 30’s in many suburban locations by early Thursday morning and again early Friday morning and there can be some more in the way of patchy frost.
A major temperature pattern change begins later in the weekend with a warm-up for the eastern states. High temperatures around here on Sunday afternoon should be near the 80 degree mark and 85 degrees is possible on Monday.
