The “boys of summer” are back in town...big-league baseball gets underway on Thursday with home openers in New York City (Yankees vs. Brewers) and Washington, D.C. (Nationals vs Phillies) where there should be loads of sunshine and dry, cool conditions. High pressure will be in control of the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region on Thursday resulting in the dry, cool conditions with highs likely in the lower 50’s across New York City and the upper 50’s in the D.C. metro. After a warm frontal passage on Friday night, a major-league warmup is coming on Saturday with 80 degrees on the table in at least parts of the Mid-Atlantic region.

A cold frontal system will push through the region this morning and there can be a rain and/or snow shower associated with it followed by some clearing skies during the afternoon. It’ll be on the breezy and cool side both today and tomorrow with temperatures below-normal for this time of year. A warm front arrives on Friday night with some shower activity likely and its passage will usher in a much warmer air mass for the upcoming weekend. Temperatures on Saturday could soar well up into the 70’s and should remain quite mild on Sunday and Monday as well with a late weekend chance of showers.

High pressure takes control of the weather today on the back side of a departing cold frontal system and it should result in some sunshine and a breezy, milder afternoon. A weak disturbance slides to our south early tomorrow and then high pressure returns for later tomorrow and Thursday. It’ll be on the cool side on both Wednesday and Thursday and then milder weather returns for the end of the week and upcoming weekend; however, it’ll become more unsettled as well with an increasing chance of showers.

The week starts off unsettled as a cold frontal system slowly works its way through the area producing occasional showers right through early afternoon. High pressure will take control on Tuesday, but only for a brief time as another system can produce some shower activity around here on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. The weather returns to generally dry and cool conditions for later Wednesday and Thursday as another high pressure system builds into the region.

Winds will be quite strong today from a northwesterly direction and can gust to 40 mph or so on the back side of a cold frontal system. High pressure takes control providing us with some sunshine to go along with the windy and chilly conditions as we close out the work week. A weak cold front can produce a shower or two on Saturday and it’ll turn somewhat cooler and breezy on Sunday ahead of the next cold front which can produce showers around here on Sunday night and Monday.

An on-going stratospheric warming event that began in late February increases the chance for additional cold air outbreaks as we wind down the month of March from the Great Lakes/Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US. In fact, the typical lag time between a stratospheric warming event over the polar region and its impact on US temperature patterns suggests there may very well be cold air outbreaks to deal with in this part of the country at least until the middle of April. As it turns out, big-league baseball gets underway in earnest in one week’s time on Thursday, March 27th, and the early part of the season may feature plenty of cold weather games thanks in large part to the on-going big-league stratospheric warming event. In addition, the influx of colder-than-normal air masses in coming weeks keeps hope alive across the northern states for those wishing for more snow...yes, even though spring season is now officially underway.

A strong cold front will head this way today from the Ohio Valley and it’ll help to spawn the formation of low pressure near the Mid-Atlantic coastline by later tonight. The combination of the low pressure system and cold front will bring rain to the region from late today into tonight and winds will kick up as well. In fact, those winds can gust to 40 mph or so by late tonight and through the day on Friday which will be a cooler day compared to today. A weak front can bring some clouds to the area on Saturday and perhaps a shower or two, and then it turns cooler on its heels to close out the upcoming weekend. Another cold frontal system can bring more rain to the area by the early part of next week.

High pressure will control the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region for another day providing us with a mix of sun and clouds and a very mild afternoon. A strong cold front pushes into the area on Thursday and low pressure will form along the Mid-Atlantic coastline. As a result, a decent rainfall is likely here from late tomorrow into tomorrow night with 0.5” to 1.0” likely and it is not out of the question that the rain mixes with snow before it ends across some of the far northern and western suburbs. Colder air will follow the frontal passage to close out the work week with very windy conditions featuring gusts to 50 mph or so.
