Discussion
One cold front slipped through the region on Sunday and a secondary will push through this morning and it’ll usher in even colder air than its predecessor. Temperatures today will be confined to near 50 degrees for afternoon highs which is about ten degrees below the normal for this time of year. With clear skies tonight, diminishing winds, and high pressure moving nearby, conditions will be quite favorable for temperatures to drop to the upper 20’s in many suburban locations so prepare if there are sensitive plants out there (cover just before sunset with a light sheet or burlap). It stays quite chilly on Wednesday and temperatures could drop into the low-to-mid 30’s late Wednesday night/early Thursday and patchy frost is possible. Noticeably warmer weather returns to the Mid-Atlantic region late in the week and we may be setting up for a nice weekend with sunny, dry and mild days.
