A strong cold front passed through the region last night and it has ushered in a noticeably cooler air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region. Winds will become very strong later today from a west-to-northwest direction as a secondary cold front crosses the region….gusts to 50 mph are possible by day’s end. A weak system will push into the area on Friday night with a few rain and/or snow showers possible and the weekend looks to be on the chilly side for early March.
Looking ahead, a big-time warmup is on the way for next week which can feature high temperatures near 70 degrees by Wednesday (not quite done with the cold shots though). One final note, this weekend is that time once again to push clocks forward an hour as we flip back to Daylight Savings Time.

Ingredients are in place for strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity later today into early tonight along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor which will include downpours and the possibility of damaging wind gusts. In addition, a few isolated tornadoes are on the table later today in the Mid-Atlantic region and an enhanced risk of tornadoes will take place farther to the south from southeastern Virginia into the Carolinas. Meanwhile, in the storm’s cold sector, there are blizzard conditions today across portions of Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin where 60+ mph winds can cause considerable blowing and drifting of snow.

Strong-to-severe thunderstorms are possible later today into early tonight as a strong low pressure system heads to the Great Lakes. There will be occasional showers here today along with afternoon/evening thunderstorms and some of the rain will be heavy at times. Any thunderstorm that forms from mid-day on through the evening hours can result in damaging wind gusts and hail. In addition, isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out in the Mid-Atlantic; primarily, in areas to the south of the PA/MD border. It turns cooler and remains windy on Thursday following the late night passage of a strong cold front and gusts can surpass 45 mph or so. Looking ahead, the weekend will be chilly, but a big warmup next week could bring temperatures to the 70 degree mark in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor.
