Discussion

Today will likely turn out to be the mildest day of the week with temperatures climbing into the 70’s, but it’ll stay unsettled as well with a good chance of showers this afternoon and early tonight and maybe a thunderstorm or two. A cold front will approach on Thursday keeping it unsettled around here and a downward trend in temperatures will begin following the passage of that front. A secondary cold front will produce another threat for showers in the Mid-Atlantic region late Friday and then building high pressure to our north will usher in progressively colder air this weekend. By late Sunday, there are signs that a storm will form near the east coast and this potential storm could actually bring snow to portions of the Northeast US and Mid-Atlantic region, but there are still several days to go to this possible event so stay tuned – we’ll monitor it closely.
