Discussion

A cold front will cross the area today with clouds and perhaps a few mid-day showers, but the real chill coming to the area will wait another day until after a coastal low passes by the region early Wednesday. That coastal low will generate some rain around here late tonight and part of tomorrow and the breeze will pick up out the north-to-northwest on Wednesday. Temperatures will hold in the unseasonably chilly low-to-mid 50’s on Wednesday and then remain quite chilly at well below normal levels on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Overnight lows during the second half of the week will drop way down to near freezing as we experience the coolest air mass yet this season in the Mid-Atlantic region. One final note - the World Series begins tomorrow night in Boston and temperatures there will be dropping into the 30's for overnight lows.
