An area of low pressure will likely produce some rain around here from later tonight into mid-day on Saturday, but improvement is on the way for Sunday. In fact, the second half of the weekend should feature some sunshine and mild conditions with high temperatures on Sunday afternoon in the low-to-mid 60’s. It stays on the mild side early next week, but there will be an increasing chance of showers by Tuesday and the threat of rain may last into mid-week.

The passage of a strong front last night resulted in a sharp drop in temperatures and temperatures are likely to do no better than about 45 degrees today for afternoon highs. It stays on the chilly side on Friday, but a warm-up begins early this weekend and it’ll take temperatures back to the low-to-mid 60’s for highs on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. And like this week’s warm spell, the one on the way for early next week will be somewhat marred by occasional showers.

A powerful cold front is pushing through the Ohio Valley this morning and it will produce some wild weather in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor from early-to-mid afternoon to late evening. Winds will become very strong this afternoon ahead of the frontal system and stay very strong into the overnight hours following the passage of the cold front. In fact, gusts can surpass 50 mph in the Mid-Atlantic region later this afternoon and evening including along coastal sections of New Jersey and the Delmarva Peninsula.
Temperatures will peak today near 60 degrees in many spots along the I-95 corridor and then plunge following the frontal passage to the upper 20’s or lower 30’s by later tonight…a drop off of some thirty degrees from today’s highs to the overnight lows. Showers will come in waves today and tonight with some of it heavy at times and there can be a strong thunderstorm or two mixed into the picture. There is an outside chance that the evening rain showers change to snow showers for a brief time before the precipitation winds down later tonight. It stays cold on Thursday, but the cold shot will be rather short-lived and we’ll be pushing to 60 degrees again by the second half of the upcoming weekend.

It turns noticeably milder today in the Mid-Atlantic region after a chilly start to the day…even milder weather is coming for Tuesday and Wednesday. In fact, the eastern 2/3rds of the nation will experience above-normal temperatures with the most dramatic departures-from-normal focused today on the central states where some spots can exceed averages by 35+ degrees. The warm-up will come to an abrupt end on Tuesday across the central US as the result of the passage of a powerful cold front and it will end rather dramatically in the Mid-Atlantic region as well on Wednesday evening. This west-to-east moving cold front can produce some severe thunderstorm activity on Tuesday in the Midwest/Ohio Valley and - with the sharp drop off in temperatures - the rain is likely to change briefly to snow in many spots. There can even be a changeover from rain-to-snow for a brief time in the Mid-Atlantic’s I-95 corridor on Wednesday evening following the passage of the strong cold front. The cold air mass that pushes in following the passage of the front will not last too long in the central or eastern US. In fact, another warm-up will commence by week’s end in the central US and by later this weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region.
