Discussion

Colder air moved into the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday following the passage of a strong cold front and temperatures will remain below-normal today despite plenty of sunshine. It’ll turn a bit milder on Wednesday and then quite mild by Thursday afternoon with the Orioles home opener scheduled for 3:05 PM (lower 70’s)...Nationals open up in Chicago. The next front will bring showers here from late Thursday night into Friday morning and it’ll turn colder again as we head into the upcoming weekend.
