Discussion
It’ll be slightly colder today in the DC metro region on the back side of a frontal passage and sun will give way to increasing clouds as low pressure organizes over the Upper Midwest. A warm front will extend well to the east of the low pressure system and it’ll push in our direction later tonight spreading rain into the region that should last through much of the day on Friday. Rain has been a rare commodity in the Mid-Atlantic region during the month of January which has been drier-than-normal in the local area with a deficit of 1.41 inches. Temperatures during the day on Friday will climb into the 50’s, and then it turns moderately cold again to begin the weekend.
