Discussion
A weak cold front will arrive today and it could set off a few mid-day showers, but then clearing is likely late in the day. This front will usher in another cool air mass for the mid-week time period and then a second and stronger cold front will arrive on Friday. That late week cold front will usher in some serious cold air for this time of year for the upcoming weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US. Low temperatures near the freezing mark are quite possible late Saturday night/early Sunday and again late Sunday night/early Monday in some suburban locations of the I-95 big cities.
