Discussion

The next couple of days will be very warm in the Mid-Atlantic region - potentially record-breaking in some spots - with 80 degrees on the table for afternoon highs around here. The warmer weather pattern will become unsettled as well during the next several days with multiple chances of rain. A cold front comes through the region late Wednesday with the chance of showers and thunderstorms, and it’ll stall in the general vicinity keeping it unsettled into the weekend. Another front will slide this way on Sunday and it could result in some shower activity on Easter with cooler air to follow early next week.
