6:00 AM | *A significant warmup next week in the Mid-Atlantic region*

Paul Dorian

The work week will end with clouds this morning giving way to some sun for the afternoon and it’ll turn noticeably warmer compared to recent days ahead of the next cool front. That front comes through the region later tonight and temperatures on Saturday will be a tad lower than today and northwest winds will kick up at times. Looking ahead, a significant warmup is expected for the early and middle parts of next week. Temperatures should climb well up into the 80’s on Monday for afternoon highs and then a flirtation with the 90-degree mark is possible on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

6:00 AM | **Looking much warmer next week and 90 degrees is on the table**

Paul Dorian

The day will start off on the frosty side in many areas, but it’ll turn a bit milder this afternoon with plenty of sunshine and light winds. It turns even milder on Friday ahead of the next cold front and there can be an isolated shower on Friday night. The weekend will start off a bit cooler and breezy on Saturday and then quite mild on Sunday…both days featuring plenty of sunshine. Looking ahead, the weather turns much warmer next week with the low-to-mid 80’s on the table for Monday for afternoon highs and perhaps a flirtation with the 90-degree mark by Tuesday afternoon.

6:00 AM | **Another cold night on the way with patchy frost late**

Paul Dorian

It remains colder-than-normal today on the heels of secondary cold frontal passage on Tuesday morning with temperatures some ten degrees or so below the average for this time of year. Temperatures later tonight can drop to the low-to-mid 30’s in many suburban locations and patchy frost is indeed possible. It turns milder by the end of the week and we are setting up for a pretty nice weekend in the DC metro region featuring sunny, dry and warm days. Much warmer weather is on the way for next week in the Mid-Atlantic region.

6:00 AM | **Near freezing in many locations late tonight...noticeably warmer for the late week and weekend**

Paul Dorian

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 the lower 50’s 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 near freezing 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 warm days.

6:00 AM | *Near freezing conditions late tomorrow night in many suburban locations*

Paul Dorian

A cold front slid through the Mid-Atlantic region on Sunday paving the way for cooler air to start the new work week and a secondary cold front passes through early tomorrow. Temperatures today will reach the lower 60’s for afternoon highs and likely do no better than the low-to-mid 50’s on Tuesday. By later tomorrow night, near freezing conditions are likely across many suburban locations with temperatures dropping into the lower 30’s…it turns warmer again by the end of the week.

6:00 AM | *Possible record warmth on Saturday...rain on Easter Sunday as cold front pushes across the region*

Paul Dorian

A warm front should lift north of the area later this morning resulting in a low-level wind shift to a south-to-southwest direction and a dramatic rise of temperatures this afternoon that can peak in the lower 80’s. We’ll stay in the warm air mass as we head into the weekend with 85 degrees on the table for Saturday - a possible record-breaker - along with the threat of PM showers and thunderstorms. A cold front slides across the area on Easter Sunday producing occasional rain in the area and there can be a thunderstorm as well. The passage of the cold front will lead to colder conditions for the first half of next week with overnight lows the freezing mark a possibility late Tuesday night in many suburban locations.

6:00 AM | *Much cooler today following the passage of a cold front with low-level easterly winds*

Paul Dorian

A cold frontal system passed through the region last night and the low-level wind flow has flipped as a result from a south-to-southwest direction to east-to-northeast. This change in winds will bring about much cooler conditions around here and there can be light rain or drizzle at times right into the overnight hours. The front pushes back to the north on Friday and it should become noticeably warmer around here and the weekend starts off quite warm as well with Saturday afternoon highs near the 85 degree mark. The next cold front arrives on Easter Sunday and occasional showers are likely mainly during the morning and mid-day hours. It turns colder on Sunday night following the passage of the cold front with overnight low temperatures likely near 40 degrees to start off the new work week.

6:00 AM | **Another very warm day ahead of the next cold front with the chance of showers and thunderstorms...some of the storms can be on the strong side**

Paul Dorian

Today will be another very warm one in the Mid-Atlantic region - potentially record-breaking in some spots - with the middle 80’s for afternoon highs around here. A strong cold front approaches the region later in the day and there can be a shower or thunderstorm at just about anytime; especially, during the late day and evening hours...some of the storms can be strong. On Thursday, assuming the front stays just to our north, it’ll stay quite mild in the area and there can be a shower or thunderstorm. It remains somewhat unsettled on Friday and Saturday and then the next cold front approaches on Easter Sunday raising the chance of showers; primarily, during the morning and mid-day hours. Much cooler air follows the front for the early part of next week.

6:00 AM | *Temperature soar next couple of days with low-to-mid 80's on the table*

Paul Dorian

The next couple of days will be very warm in the Mid-Atlantic region - potentially record-breaking in some spots - with low-to-mid 80’s 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.
