Discussion

Milder air is pushing northward through the region this morning over some low-level cold air and the result is patchy fog and drizzle that can stick around for another few hours. Skies will clear some later today after the passage of a warm front and the winds will pick up during the PM hours with gusts possible to 30 mph. The passage of a weak cold front later tonight may knock off a few degrees for Thursday, but then temperatures will climb well up into the 50’s on Friday and Saturday. Occasional showers are likely on Friday to go along with those milder conditions and periods of rain are quite likely during the first half of the upcoming weekend…some of the rain on Saturday can be heavy at times. A strong cold front passes through the Mid-Atlantic region on Saturday night and it’ll turn moderately colder for Sunday and Monday.
