Discussion

Spring-like warmth will continue in the Mid-Atlantic region during the next couple of days and there can be record-breaking high temperatures in some spots. A strong cold front will pass through the region from later tomorrow night into Thursday, and it’ll likely be accompanied by occasional rain and a strong thunderstorm is possible as well. Much cooler air pushes in for Thursday and Friday on the heels of the cold frontal passage and it stays on the cool side to begin the weekend. Another strong cold front heads this way for the Sunday night time frame likely with additional showers and possible thunderstorms.
