Discussion

There will be plenty of cloudiness around early today, but clearing skies this afternoon can allow for temperatures to turn milder compared to Thursday and then they’ll surge later this weekend to very mild levels on Sunday. The weekend will become quite wet, however, with the chance of light rain/drizzle on Saturday and Saturday night, and then occasional rainfall is likely on Sunday. The rain on Sunday can become heavy at times and the winds can be quite strong as a cold front slides eastward towards the coast. In addition, there can be a strong-to-severe thunderstorm or two raising the chance for damaging wind gusts in the Mid-Atlantic region. It turns cooler on Monday following the passage of a cold front, but as is increasingly common for this time of year, the cool down should be short-lived. It should become very mild again in the Mid-Atlantic region by the middle of next week.
