Discussion

The passage of a weak cold front last night may knock off a few degrees from yesterday’s high temperatures, but we should still reach into above-normal territory. It becomes even milder on Friday and Saturday ahead of the next cold frontal system with temperatures on both days likely nearing 60 degrees. Occasional showers are likely on Friday to go along with those milder conditions and there will be periods of rain on Friday night and Saturday...some of the rain can be heavy at times. A cold front passes through the Mid-Atlantic region on Saturday night and it’ll turn chilly Sunday and even colder on Monday.
