A warming trend will intensify today and it’ll stay quite mild into the mid-week. Temperatures today should climb towards the 60 degree mark this afternoon and then should do a repeat performance on Tuesday. A weak disturbance will bring us the chance for showers later today, tonight and on Tuesday, but it should turn out to be mainly dry at mid-week. A cooling trend will take place later in the week and we'll have to monitor two systems as the week closes out: one system heading to a position off the east coast and a second dropping southeastward across the Great Lakes.

The weekend will turn out to be quite cold for this time of year in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US, but a warming trend will begin on Sunday across the Mississippi Valley. At the same time, a strong wave of energy in the upper part of the atmosphere will crash into California and this will become one key player in the eastern half of the nation by the middle of next week. The combination of warmer and increasingly humid air and strong energy aloft may very well result in a major rain event next week from the Lower Mississippi Valley to the eastern US.

A rather tight pressure gradient remains across the Mid-Atlantic region today and this will lead to continued breezy conditions with temperatures remaining on the cold side of normal for late February. A reinforcing shot of cold air will arrive tonight perhaps with a snow shower or two and the weekend promises to remain colder-than-normal. A warming trend will begin on Monday, however, and with the moderation in temperatures there will be an increasing chance of showers. By the middle of next week, temperatures are likely to reach the 60’s once again in the NYC metro region.

Low pressure will continue to intensify today as it grinds its way into the interior part of the Northeast US. As this system intensifies, the overall pressure gradient in the Mid-Atlantic region will tighten and this will lead to the possibility of 40+ mph wind gusts from the mid-to-late morning on through the afternoon hours. Temperatures have likely already peaked for the day and will remain colder-than-normal right through the upcoming weekend thanks to a reinforcing shot of cold air that will arrive here by the early part of the weekend.

It’ll stay relatively quiet this afternoon in the Mid-Atlantic region with nothing more than some light rain or drizzle at times to go along with mild conditions for the latter part of February. The weather story will be quite different, however, from late tonight into the day on Thursday. A very energetic weather situation is evolving for late tonight as a strong cold front will come barreling through the Mid-Atlantic region likely with brief downpours, gusty winds and perhaps a few strong-to-severe thunderstorms. It’ll turn much colder early tomorrow with stiff NW winds and these winds will actually intensify later Thursday as low pressure intensifies dramatically over the Northeast US with gusts possible to 50 mph. This incoming colder air mass will be reinforced by the early part of the weekend leading to below-normal conditions right through the upcoming weekend.

It’ll be rather mild again today in the Mid-Atlantic region with occasional light rain or drizzle possible and there will be some patchy fog. An energetic weather situation is evolving for tonight as a strong cold front will come barreling through the area with brief heavy downpours, gusty winds and perhaps even a strong thunderstorm or two. It’ll turn much colder late tonight following the frontal passage with stiff NW winds and the winds can gust as high as 50 mph on Thursday. The colder-than-normal conditions that kick in on Thursday will stick around through Sunday following the arrival of a reinforcing shot of cold air early this weekend.

There will be mild conditions and occasional rain or drizzle in the Mid-Atlantic region this afternoon, tonight and on Wednesday along with patchy, dense fog at times; especially, in the overnight hours. A much more energetic weather situation is evolving for tomorrow night as a strong cold front will come barreling through the Mid-Atlantic with possible downpours and perhaps even some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity. It’ll turn very windy and much colder following the frontal passage late Wednesday night and Thursday with NW wind gusts possible to 50 mph. The colder-than-normal air conditions that develop on Thursday will stick around right through Sunday as a reinforcing shot of cold air will arrive by the early part of the weekend.

It turned milder on Monday as high pressure shifted off the east coast and today will feature low pressure heading from the Mississippi Valley to the eastern states and there will be continued mild conditions. Occasional rain or drizzle is likely today, tonight and on Wednesday and patchy fog is possible at times; especially, in the overnight hours. By early tomorrow night, a strong cold front will be approaching our area and this could bring some heavier downpours as well as a possible strong thunderstorm or two. Following the front, much colder air will return to the Mid-Atlantic region on late Wednesday night and Thursday and it'll stick around right through the upcoming weekend with below-normal temperatures.

It’ll turn milder as we begin the new work week as high pressure shifts off the coast and southwesterly flow of air develops in the lower levels of the atmosphere. Low pressure will head towards the eastern Great Lakes later today and drag a cold front through the region by mid-week. Showers are likely with this frontal system from tonight into later tomorrow and then another system will impact the region from Wednesday into early Thursday. That next system will feature strong low pressure going up to the northwest of here and more rain showers from Wednesday into early Thursday. By later Thursday, a stiff flow of air from the northwest will usher in a cold air mass for the latter stages of the week and it’ll stay on the cold side heading into the weekend.

The work week will close out on a cold note with strong high pressure in control and temperatures confined to the middle 30’s for afternoon highs. The high pressure system will push eastward this weekend and temperatures will moderate and there should be some sunshine on both weekend days. Low pressure will head to the northwest of here early next week and it’ll turn milder ahead of its associated cold frontal system. Showers are likely by Monday night and Tuesday as the cold front slides through the Mid-Atlantic region and it should turn colder and stay pretty active later next week.
