Discussion
A strong cold front arrives later today and it’ll be mild ahead of it with morning temperatures likely spiking into the upper 40’s. 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.
