Discussion
A strong cold front arrives later today and it’ll be mild ahead of it with morning temperatures likely reaching the 50-degree mark. Following the passage of the front, temperatures will drop markedly during the afternoon hours and it turns noticeably colder at night. Winds will be a big factor from later today into Tuesday with gusts to 50 mph on the table throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Additional cold fronts and upper-level disturbances will pass through the region later this week assuring a cold start to the new year and there can be some snow shower activity at times.
