Discussion

The next couple of days will feature quite warm conditions in the Mid-Atlantic region with plenty of sunshine as high pressure takes control. A front slides through on Wednesday night and it may knock off about ten degrees from Thursday afternoon highs as compared with Wednesday. A stronger cold front arrives on Friday night…potentially with some shower activity…and the coolest air mass so far this season pushes in for the upcoming weekend. Temperatures are likely to drop into the 30’s for overnight lows during the weekend and there may even be snow showers up in the mountains to our north and west…a brief taste of winter.
