Discussion

A warm front has pushed northward through the region and temperatures today will respond accordingly and climb well up into the 50’s for afternoon highs. The passage of a weak cold front later tonight may knock off a few degrees for Thursday, but then temperatures will climb to the 60’s on Friday and Saturday. Occasional showers are likely on Friday to go along with those quite mild conditions and periods of rain are quite likely on Saturday and some of that rain 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.
