Discussion
A significant warmup began in the eastern states on Monday and the next few days will feature unseasonably warm conditions in the Mid-Atlantic region with record high temperatures a possibility in some areas. The warmup will last through the work week, but then a strong cold front will approach the east coast by Sunday paving the way for a colder-than-normal air mass to reach the northeastern states by the early part of next week. This may not be the end of the chillier air masses as signs point to additional outbreaks from Canada as we progress to the last week of April.
In terms of (much needed) rainfall, a complex of showers and thunderstorms developed in the overnight hours over the Great Lakes and some of this activity can re-develop later today in the Mid-Atlantic region; primarily, on the north side of the PA/MD border.
