Discussion
The new work week started off on the chilly side in the Mid-Atlantic region with temperatures below normal for early January however, a warming trend begins today and it’ll reach a peak on Friday and Saturday ahead of the next strong cold front. There may be some light rain or drizzle at times through tonight and some patchy fog as well as a warm frontal system pushes through the area. After a mild and dry day on Wednesday, the passage of a weak cold front at night will knock a few degrees off the temperatures on Thursday, but then they’ll soar on Friday and Saturday to go along with wet conditions on both days. The second half of the weekend will feature windy and moderately colder conditions following the passage of a strong cold front during Saturday night and the early part of next week will begin on the chilly side.
