Discussion

After a frosty start to the day, temperatures will climb to near 60 degrees later today boosted by copious amounts of sunshine with high pressure sitting overhead. As is often the case this time of year, chilly air masses won’t stick around for too long and we’ll warm to near 70 degrees on Wednesday, and to the mid-to-upper 70’s on Thursday. Looking ahead, the weekend appears to be cooler and quite unsettled with an area of low pressure likely impacting the Mid-Atlantic region...there is even the chance for a period of steady rainfall.
