Discussion
Low pressure is now weakening and pulling away from the Mid-Atlantic coastline and it’ll begin to turn noticeably milder this afternoon in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. A significant surge of warm air will then boost temperatures to well above normal levels on Thursday and it looks like it’ll stay very warm here right into the upcoming weekend. A weakening frontal system could spark a few scattered showers and thunderstorms tomorrow night and early Friday and a couple of showers and thunderstorms cannot be ruled on either day this weekend.
