It becomes quite breezy and milder today ahead of the next cold front and there can be a couple of isolated morning and mid-day showers and a few showers are likely late in the day and early tonight as the front arrives. The passage of the cold front will usher in another colder-than-normal air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region for Thursday and Friday. After that, attention will turn to a strong low pressure system that is likely to push to the Mid-Atlantic coastline by the early part of the weekend and generate some rain around here from late Friday night into Saturday…some of the rain can be heavy. Another colder-than-normal air mass will follow that storm system for the second half of the weekend and the early part of next week.

Meanwhile, the Mid-Atlantic region will enjoy back-to-back-to-back unseasonably warm days featuring temperatures in the 70’s in many spots and spring fever may spread rapidly.
