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 into the 70’s by Tuesday afternoon in the Philly 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 Philly metro region despite some sunshine. 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 early Sunday 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 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 near the freezing mark 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.

It’ll turn out to be a very nice day today in the Mid-Atlantic region as high pressure builds in providing us with plenty of sunshine, breezy and warmer conditions. The nice weather will be rather short-lived however. A strong cold front will approach on Wednesday with a pretty high likelihood of showers and there can even be a late day strong-to-severe thunderstorm potentially containing damaging wind gusts. A much colder air mass will ride into the area tomorrow night on strong NW winds and temperatures by Thursday morning will flirt with the freezing mark 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 by the end of the week. Another strong system could bring more rainfall to the Mid-Atlantic region by the second half of the upcoming weekend.

An upper-level disturbance will push into the Mid-Atlantic region later today with a couple showers possible and perhaps a thunderstorm and this will be followed by high pressure later tonight into Tuesday. The biggest weather event of the week will likely be the passage of a strong cold front at mid-week that will produce showers and a possible strong thunderstorm later Wednesday. An unseasonably cold air mass will push into the area for Wednesday night and Thursday with overnight lows well down in the 30's and a feeling of March during the day Thursday. Looking ahead, more rain is likely in the Mid-Atlantic region by Saturday night and Sunday.

Late morning weather observations featured snow in Boston, Massachusetts at 35 degrees and snow in Denver, Colorado at 27 degrees – and yet it is the middle of April. In fact, there is accumulating snow in two parts of the nation at mid-day including much of New England which is being hit by a springtime nor’easter and also in the region from the central Rockies to the central Plains. Just when most people desire the sustained warmth that spring can offer this time of year, the overall weather pattern says not yet – at least not for much of the central and eastern US during the rest of the month of April. Not only is there a colder-than-normal air mass now extending across this large part of the country, it appears that there will be multiple cold air outbreaks for the central and eastern US during at least the next ten days or so. Winter is simply not going away without a fight.
