Discussion
A cold front closes in on the area later today and it will produce some shower activity and perhaps even an isolated thunderstorm or two. Moderately chilly air will follow into the Mid-Atlantic region on Friday, but it then turns windy and milder on Saturday as a “clipper” system passes by well to the north of here. That system will drag a cold front through the region and it’ll turn quite cold once again for the early part of next week.
