Strong low pressure over the western Atlantic will push to the northeast today and our winds will pick up in intensity with gusts past 40 mph possible during the mid-day and afternoon hours. With the return of the sunshine, temperatures should climb to 60+ degrees this afternoon, but the wind will make it feel somewhat cooler. Another low pressure system will impact the region with showers on Thursday night and rain on Friday/Friday night. The late week storm system is likely to get out of here in time for us to squeeze out a pretty decent weekend before another system threatens us with rain by Sunday night or Monday.

Low pressure will intensify rapidly later today along the Southeast US coastline and then make a push to the northeast over the western Atlantic Ocean. Its main impact will be just to the south and east of here, but showers are likely here later tonight. Another low pressure system will impact the region later in the week with more rainfall - and possibly snow mixed in at times - as a warm front arrives on Thursday night and then a cold front on Friday.

After a spring tease on Saturday with temperatures in the 70’s, a strong cold frontal passage on Sunday ushered in a cold air mass for this time of year and it looks like another early spring night is coming to the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor with low temperatures generally below-freezing. On Tuesday, low pressure will form and intensify along the Southeast US coastline and then it’ll make a push to the northeast tomorrow night and early Wednesday as a full-fledged nor’easter. The corridor between DC and NYC is likely to be spared the worst of the storm’s impact, but eastern New England could very well get hard hit with strong winds and some heavy precipitation.

Another shot of cold air has pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region from central Canada and we’ll stay colder-than-normal for the next couple days as we begin the new month of April. Low pressure will intensify off the Carolina coastline by late tomorrow, but it looks like its main impact will stay just to the east of here as it slides into the western Atlantic. This system, however, still needs to be closely monitored. High pressure will build into the region for much of Wednesday and Thursday and then another low is likely to bring us some rain on Thursday night and Friday.

The warm up that began yesterday will intensify today and highs should reach the lower 70's on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, the warm up comes to a grinding halt on Sunday as a strong cold front slides through the Mid-Atlantic region with some shower activity and a much colder air mass will become quite noticeable by Sunday night along with a stiffening north-to-northwest wind. Colder-than-normal conditions will persist through mid-week in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor resulting in a chilly start to the month of April and we’ll have to watch a coastal storm which could impact the region in the Tuesday night/Wednesday morning time frame.

Today is Opening Day for the Yankees and the timing will be just right as a significant warming trend will be getting underway in the Mid-Atlantic region. After a cold start to the day, low-level winds will switch to a south-to-south direction this afternoon resulting in a push of milder air and temperatures should climb to near 60 degrees in NYC for the home opener. This warm up will intensify on Friday and Saturday and despite plenty of clouds on both days, afternoon highs should be within a few degrees of 70. Unfortunately, the warm up comes to a grinding halt on Sunday as a strong cold front slides through the Mid-Atlantic region with numerous showers and a much colder air mass will become quite noticeable by Sunday night along with a stiffening north-to-northwest wind. Colder-than-normal conditions will persist through mid-week in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor resulting in a chilly start to the month of April and we’ll have to watch a storm near the southeast US coastline to see if it can push northward along the Atlantic seaboard.

It looks like we may have to wait a bit longer for sustained springtime warmth in the Mid-Atlantic region as despite a dramatic warm up on Friday and Saturday, we’ll turn sharply colder again for the first half of next week. In fact, there can be a second cold shot late next week that makes its way into the Mid-Atlantic region which would mean we may have to wait until the second week of April for more sustained springtime warmth. In addition, there will be a deep upper-level feature sliding across the southern states early next week with cold air in place across the NE US/Mid-Atlantic. This system could push off the Carolina coastline and stay south of here, but it’ll be something to closely monitor in coming days to see if it can make a run up the eastern seaboard.

Today will be another below-normal day in the Mid-Atlantic region in terms of overall temperatures, but a warming trend will begin on Thursday as our low-level winds will switch to a southwesterly direction on the back side of departing high pressure. The warming trend will intensify on Friday and Saturday and 70+ degrees will be possible as we start the weekend. Showers are a threat for Sunday as the next cold frontal system arrives from the Midwest and it’ll turn colder as we begin the new week (and the new month) on Monday.

A chilly air mass for this time of year has moved into the Mid-Atlantic region following the passage of a cold frontal system. Temperatures will remain below-normal for the next couple of days despite plenty of sunshine all along the I-95 corridor. On Thursday, high pressure will edge off the coast and it’ll turn breezy and milder – just in time for the Yankees home opener. Even warmer weather will take place on Friday and Saturday, but showers are a threat for Sunday as the next cold front approaches.

Low pressure over the Ohio Valley will ride along an approaching cold front today and likely stay mainly to the south of the NYC metro region in terms of rainfall. Following the frontal passage, colder air will push into the Mid-Atlantic region for the next couple of days with below-normal temperatures confined to the 40’s for highs. It’ll turn milder on Thursday just in time for the Yankees home opener and sunshine should boost temperatures well into the 50’s. It stays nice on Friday and Saturday, but a cold front could bring some showers our way on Sunday.
