7:00 AM | *A couple of showers possible late tonight...better shower threat comes on Friday and continues through the weekend*

Paul Dorian

Today will be another nice day around here with plenty of sunshine, but a weak disturbance can bring a couple of showers to the area from late tonight into early Wednesday. A more organized and slow-moving system is likely to result in multiple rounds of showers around here from Friday through the upcoming weekend. Temperatures will remain on the warm side for the next couple of days with highs generally in the 70’s, but it’ll turn a bit cooler at week’s end as the threat of showers increases.

7:00 AM | *A pretty nice start to the week*

Paul Dorian

High pressure will build across the northeastern part of the nation as we begin a new week and it will generate plenty of sunshine around here for our Monday. A couple of weak disturbances can bring a shower or two to the area later this evening and again later tomorrow night and then a more organized system will bring us a shower threat at the end of the week and into the weekend. Temperatures warmed up this weekend from the chill of late last week and it will remain rather mild for much of this week.

7:00 AM | *Another unseasonably cold day, but improvement comes this weekend*

Paul Dorian

The work week will close on an unseasonably cold note despite plenty of sunshine and temperatures late tonight should fall to just below the freezing mark. On Saturday, temperatures will begin to rebound with a full day of sunshine and the warming trend will continue on Easter Sunday. High temperatures on Saturday should be near 55 degrees and then they’ll flirt with the 65 degree mark on Sunday.

7:00 AM | ***Cold blast arrives today on increasingly strong NW winds***

Paul Dorian

An impressive cold blast for the first day of April will flood the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US today riding in on increasingly strong NW winds. This cold air outbreak has resulted in some accumulating snow across interior sections from West Virginia to northern New England and a few flakes may even show up around here this morning. Temperatures late tonight and again late tomorrow night are likely to fall to below the freezing mark and this kind of chill can have an impact on some sensitive plants. Looking ahead, the abnormal chill of the next couple of days will ease this weekend with plenty of sunshine expected on both Saturday and Easter Sunday.

12:20 PM (Wed) | *Soaking rain later today into early Thursday with cold blast to follow…temperatures to drop to or just below the freezing mark…some snowflakes in the mix as well*

Paul Dorian

Soaking rain is headed to the Mid-Atlantic region for later today, tonight and early Thursday and it will be followed by an impressive cold blast for the beginning of the month of April. Temperatures will drop sharply late tonight/early tomorrow following the passage of a strong cold front and winds will become increasingly strong from a northwesterly direction. This cold air outbreak will result in accumulating snow on Thursday across interior sections of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US from West Virginia to northern New England and some snow can actually fall all the way down into the immediate I-95 corridor. Temperatures late tomorrow night and again late Friday night are likely to fall to or just below the freezing mark in many spots, but the unusual chill will ease during the upcoming Easter weekend. One final note, tomorrow is Opening Day for Major League Baseball in many Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US locations…if attending one of these games, better bring a winter coat.

7:00 AM | **Soaking rain later today into early Thursday...cold blast arrives on Thursday just as we begin the month of April**

Paul Dorian

Soaking rain is headed to the region for later today into early Thursday as a strong cold front closes in from the northwest. Low pressure will form along the advancing frontal boundary zone and it will intensify as it pushes fairly rapidly to the northeast from the Mid-Atlantic region to northern New England by early tomorrow. Following the passage of the cold front, an impressive cold blast will push in on Thursday and winds will become quite strong from a northwesterly direction. Accumulating snow is likely with this cold blast across the interior sections of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US from West Virginia to northern New England and there can even be some morning snow or snow shower activity into the immediate I-95 corridor. Temperatures late tomorrow night and again late Friday night are likely to fall to or just below the freezing mark and this can have an impact on some sensitive plants. Looking ahead, the abnormal late week chill will ease as we progress through the upcoming Easter weekend.

12:20 PM (Tues) | *Soaking rain later tomorrow/tomorrow night then a cold blast follows for Thursday/Friday…temperatures likely to drop to below freezing late at night - even in the I-95 corridor*

Paul Dorian

Another soaking rain event is headed to the region extending from the Tennessee Valley to the Mid-Atlantic and it will be followed by an impressive cold blast for the beginning of April. The soaking rain will push northeastward on Wednesday from the Tennessee Valley into the Mid-Atlantic; primarily, for the afternoon and nighttime hours. All of this activity will take place just ahead of a strong cold front which will usher in much colder air for Thursday and Friday and there can even be some accumulating snow when it arrives; primarily, across interior sections of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US.

7:00 AM | **Soaking rain later tomorrow into tomorrow night...big league cold blast arrives on Thursday - just in time for the Nats home opener**

Paul Dorian

Today’s weather will be a noticeable improvement from yesterday’s windy and chilly start to the week with plenty of sunshine around, less wind, and more comfortable temperatures during the afternoon hours. The nice weather won’t last too long. A strong cold front will close in on the area on Wednesday and there will be periods of rain ahead of it in the afternoon and evening, some of the rain can be heavy at times and there can be a thunderstorm. Following the passage of the cold front, an impressive cold blast will arrive here on Thursday - just in time for the Phillies home opener - and winds will be quite strong from a northwesterly direction. There can even be a rain or snow shower on Thursday morning and overnight temperatures are quite likely to drop to or just below the freezing mark both late Thursday night and late Friday night. The unusual late week chill will ease as we progress through the upcoming Easter weekend.

7:00 AM | *Cold blast for Thursday and Friday and temperatures could drop to below freezing once again*

Paul Dorian

The new work week will start off on the cool side following the passage of a cool frontal system and winds will remain a factor from a northwesterly direction. The next couple of days will see moderation in temperatures and a strong cold front will approach on Wednesday with rain likely. The passage of the front will usher in a much colder-than-normal air mass for Thursday and Friday and overnight temperatures late this week are likely to go below the freezing mark once again. The unusual late week chill will ease during the upcoming Easter weekend.

12:30 PM | **Major League cold blast arrives just in time for baseball’s Opening Day on Thursday in many places such as D.C., Philly, New York City and Boston…snow is even on the table**

Paul Dorian

It has been a long time since fans have actually attended Major League Baseball (MLB) games and that ritual will resume this coming Thursday, April 1st, which is Opening Day for many teams. Unfortunately, the weather may be an issue in such places as the Upper Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US - as is often the case early in the season - with an impressive cold blast likely to arrive just in time to chill those fans planning to attend games on Thursday. There is even the chance for some snow across interior sections of this part of the country on Thursday and strong NW winds will no doubt make it quite uncomfortable for fans that return to MLB ballparks for the first time since the 2019 season.
