Discussion
High pressure will take control of the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region for today and tomorrow providing us with plenty of sunshine each day and quite breezy conditions. A cold front passes through the Mid-Atlantic region on Wednesday night - likely on the dry side - and it’ll usher in somewhat cooler air for Thursday. Another cold front arrives late Friday night and this one may feature some shower activity for the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor; however, temperatures will not change much at all this weekend following its passage.
Looking ahead, there is a third cold front destined to arrive on Sunday night and this one means business. It is at the leading edge of an Arctic-originated air mass and the early part of next week will feature the coldest weather so far this season and likely the first hard freeze for many areas.
