Discussion
The warm up that began yesterday will continue today as a cold frontal system in the Ohio Valley heads east and towards the Mid-Atlantic. Temperatures today will climb into the 60’s, but there will also be occasional showers mainly after noon and perhaps a strong thunderstorm or two. It’ll turn colder and dry this weekend following the passage of the west-to-east moving cold frontal system. A "clipper" system will then drop southeastward across the Mid-Atlantic region late Sunday night into early Monday and it can generate some snow showers in DC, Philly and across southern PA, northern MD and southern NJ.
