Discussion
It becomes breezy today and stays on the cool side despite plenty of sunshine with afternoon high temperatures in the low-to-mid 50’s…dry weather for the Yankees home opener (3pm). It turns slightly milder on Friday with increasing clouds and then a warm front pushes through on Friday night likely accompanied by some shower activity. Following the passage of the warm front, temperatures should surge on Saturday to well up in the 70’s and there should be some sunshine and a stiff breeze. This surge in temperatures in the Mid-Atlantic region will be muted somewhat on Sunday as clouds will become dominate and help to knock temperatures down some from Saturday’s warmth and there will be an increasing chance of showers later in the weekend. Looking ahead, a strong storm will pass by to the northwest of the Mid-Atlantic’s I-95 corridor region on Monday and it’ll drag a strong cold front through the area with additional shower activity. This frontal passage will end the warm spell in a hurry leading to much colder-than-normal conditions by Tuesday, April 1st, and it stays on the cool side for next Wednesday as well.
