A topsy-turvy temperature pattern for the rest of the week with very chilly conditions today and temperatures confined to the 40’s, and then a flirtation with the 80-degree mark by the early part of the upcoming weekend.

A strong cold front passed through the region late last evening and ushered in a colder-than-normal air mass for mid-March and temperatures today will struggle to climb through the 30’s. The front produced some high wind gusts in the area with 60 mph being recorded at Philly International Airport (PHL). The winds will remain rather strong adding to the chill in the air and there can be a snow shower or two that make their way into the I-95 corridor. It stays chilly at mid-week, but temperatures rebound by the end of the week with high temperatures back up in the 50’s.

The overall pattern will feature dry, windy and increasingly warm weather conditions as we go through the week and into the upcoming weekend...all of which will exacerbate wildfire danger. There is also a chance for all-time March high temperatures to be reached at the end of the week and/or early part of the weekend with the middle 80’s on the table.

There is an unusually high risk of severe weather in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region from today into the late evening hours with numerous ingredients coming together. The severe weather risk will include all the following weather parameters: downpours, localized flooding, damaging winds, lightning, hail, isolated tornadoes and power outages are all on the table. Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are likely into the late evening hours and severe weather can develop with any of these bands from mid-day on through the late evening. Much colder air pours into the Mid-Atlantic region in the overnight hours and temperatures will be well below normal on Tuesday and lows tomorrow night can bottom out near the 20-degree mark in some suburban locations. The Great Lakes “snow machine” will be turned on as well on Tuesday with numerous snow bands likely just downstream and a few snow showers can make it into the I-95 corridor.

Another intense cold front is headed towards the eastern seaboard and it will bring us periods of rain today, heavy at times, and there is an enhanced chance for strong-to-severe thunderstorms...tornadoes are on the table. Winds will be quite strong ahead of the front gusting to 45 mph or so from a southerly direction and they’ll flip to a west-to-northwest direction later tonight following the passage of the front and remain very strong. Much colder air will pour into the Mid-Atlantic region overnight and rain showers could change to snow showers in some areas. Temperatures on Tuesday will be far below-normal for this time of year and the winds will remain quite strong and there can be a couple of snow showers as the “Great Lakes snow machine” gets turned on. The chill sticks around at mid-week with a gradual warmup later in the week.

An intense storm system will develop later this weekend, and it will have an impact over a large part of the nation in the Sunday/Monday/Tuesday time period ranging from blizzard conditions to severe weather including the risk of tornadoes. The risk of severe weather in the Mid-Atlantic region will be unusually high from Monday into Monday night. The heaviest snow band is likely to extend from Minnesota to Wisconsin to the upper part of Michigan where 1-2 feet can fall and the severe weather threat will exist on Sunday/Sunday night across the MS, TN, Ohio Valleys and then shift east on Monday/Monday night from the Mid-Atlantic region to the Carolinas. Arctic air with well below-normal temperatures will pour into the northeastern states by Tuesday and lake-effect snow bands are likely to set up just downstream of the Great Lakes.

A strong cold front passed through the region on Thursday and it’ll remain chilly and increasingly windy as we end the work week with some sunshine followed by increasing clouds. The weekend starts off on the cool, breezy side and then clouds will increase on Sunday ahead of the next cold front. That next cold front will be associated with a powerful Great Lakes storm system and be intense likely resulting in heavy rain and strong winds around here from later Sunday night into Monday night and there is the potential of strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity. Much colder air will follow the cold frontal passage for Tuesday and Wednesday.
