Clouds will be prevalent today and tonight as a cold front slowly presses our way from the Great Lakes region and there will be a chance of showers, maybe even a strong-to-severe thunderstorm or two. Temperatures will again climb to above-normal levels, but it won’t be quite as unseasonably warm as it was on Wednesday afternoon when temperatures peaked way up in the middle 80’s. The front will slide through early tomorrow and it’ll usher in a cooler air mass for tomorrow night and Saturday, but the bigger story will be the winds. Gusts of 50+ mph are likely on Friday and Friday night as the pressure gradient intensifies between the departing low pressure system and an approaching strong high pressure.

Today will likely turn out to be the warmest day of the week with high temperatures this afternoon in the middle 80’s – well above-normal for this time of year. Clouds will be prevalent tonight and on Thursday and there is a shower threat as the unseasonably warm conditions continue and maybe even a strong thunderstorm or two. A cold front passes through the region early Friday and it could bring us some showers with cooler air to follow the frontal passage as we begin the upcoming weekend. Sunshine is likely on both weekend days and temperatures will trend upwards to very comfortable levels by Sunday afternoon.

The work week started off a bit on the cool side of normal, but a big time warm up begins today with afternoon temperatures likely to be well up in the 70’s. It turns even warmer on Wednesday with temperatures reaching the low-to-mid 80’s, but a shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out as a weak back door cool front presses in from the northeast-to-the-southwest. This weak front could shave a few degrees off of Thursday’s highs, but it’ll continue to be well above normal for one more day. A more conventional cold front (i.e., moves from west-to-east) approaches on Friday and its passage will usher in cooler air for the upcoming weekend.

The week will start off on the chilly side on the backside of a cold front which passed through the region during the weekend. A big warm up will take place by mid-week, however, with temperatures jumping to the 70's on Tuesday and into the 80's at mid-week. This warm up will be rather short-lived as a backdoor cool front to cut the warmth some by later in the week and then a traditional cold front (i.e., moving from west-to-east) will bring cooler air here by the weekend.

After an unusually cold start to the day, sunshine will boost temperatures into the 60’s by later in the afternoon, but there will continue to be some gusty winds around the region. After a mainly clear and chilly night, clouds will increase on Saturday as low pressure heads this way from the south-central states and rain is likely from late tomorrow into early Sunday. Looking ahead to next week, a big time warm up is on the way for the eastern states as strong high pressure aloft will build eastward. Temperatures will likely climb to 70 degrees by Tuesday afternoon in the NYC metro region and could very well flirt with the 80 degree mark by mid-week.

Temperatures dropped to the freezing mark in many spots along the I-95 corridor region of the Mid-Atlantic earlier this morning and there will be one more unusually cold night to deal with in the DC, Philly and NYC metro regions. The abnormal cold this morning was widespread across the nation with record or near record lows extending from the eastern seaboard to the Rocky Mountain States. There will be a noticeable modification in temperatures on Friday in the Mid-Atlantic and the weekend should turn out to be seasonably mild, but rain will dampen the scene from late Saturday into early Sunday. Looking ahead, a big time warm up is coming to the eastern US later next week and 80+ degrees will be on the table in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Today will be a windy and unseasonably chilly day in the NYC metro region along with a mix of sun and clouds. The much colder-than-normal conditions will continue through tonight, but then temperatures will modify noticeably tomorrow afternoon and it’ll remain seasonably mild this upcoming weekend. Strong low pressure will bring more rainfall to the area on Saturday night and Sunday morning and this system will be followed by a cool air mass for the beginning part of next week. Later next week, a big time warm up is likely in the eastern states as strong high pressure ridging builds eastward and 80+ degrees is on the table in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region.

A much colder air mass is closing in on the eastern seaboard at this hour and its arrival this afternoon could spark a strong-to-severe thunderstorm in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor with the highest chances along coastal sections of New Jersey and the Delmarva Peninsula. Strong NW winds will usher in the unseasonably cold air mass later today and tonight and temperatures are likely to bottom out near the freezing mark early Thursday – even in the immediate I-95 corridor. Numerous records or near records low temperatures were experienced earlier today across the central US and Midwest and this pattern will shift to the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US early Thursday. Looking ahead, a big time warm up is likely in the eastern US later next week which could result in 80+ degrees for the Mid-Atlantic region.

A strong cold front will slide through the region later today with showers likely and a possible strong-to-severe thunderstorm during the afternoon which can contain damaging wind gusts and small hail. A much colder air mass will ride into the area tonight on strong NW winds and temperatures by early tomorrow morning will bottom out in the low-to-mid 30's in many suburban locations. It remains windy and unseasonably chilly on Thursday with a feel of March rather than late April, but moderation in temperatures will take place at the end of the work week. A strong low pressure system is likely to bring more rainfall to the Mid-Atlantic region from Saturday night into Sunday and this could turn out to be a soaking rain event. Looking ahead, it looks like a big warm up is likely later next week in much of the eastern US.

There is the risk of strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity on Wednesday afternoon and early evening in the Mid-Atlantic region as a strong cold front blasts through the area. The primary severe weather threat will be damaging wind gusts and small hail is on the table as well. Following the frontal passage, unseasonably cold air will pour the Mid-Atlantic region riding in on strong NW winds and temperatures by early Thursday will be near the freezing mark in much of the I-95 corridor region from DC-to-Boston.
