Discussion

Temperatures will modify some today in the Mid-Atlantic region with the approach of a warm front and there can be a bit of rain later in the day or early tonight. Right on its heels, a cold front will pass through the area on Wednesday and its passage will ensure moderately cold conditions for the remainder of the week and weekend. In addition, the winds will pick up at mid-week with gusts to 30 mph or so and it’ll stay quite breezy on Thursday to go along with the moderately cold conditions. The weekend will likely present another storm system for the Mid-Atlantic region and it could feature a mixed bag of rain, sleet and/or snow during the second half.
