Discussion

Another cold day is in store for the Mid-Atlantic region today as high pressure slowly shifts to our south before weakening and pushing offshore on Wednesday. A warm front will push northward through the area by Thursday and temperatures should reach the low-to-mid 50’s for afternoon highs. An active cold front will slide across the region late Thursday night and rain is likely into the early morning hours on Friday. On the heels of the cold frontal passage, winds will pick up noticeably on Friday and (moderately) colder air will make a return into the northeastern part of the country.
