6:20 AM | **Much warmer weather coming for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday**

Paul Dorian

After a chilly start to the day, temperatures today should climb to the lower 60’s for afternoon highs and similar conditions are expected on Saturday. However, by Sunday, a big-time warmup will begin in much of the eastern US and temperatures here will soar into the low-to-mid 80’s as high pressure pushes off the east coast. It turns even warmer on Monday with temperatures climbing into the mid-to-upper 80’s across the DC metro region. A cold frontal system approaches the area late Tuesday, and it could generate showers and thunderstorms in the area.

6:30 AM | *A chilly air mass sticks around into the weekend...big-time warmup for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday*

Paul Dorian

A cold front passed through the region on Wednesday and ushered in a chilly air mass that will stick around into the upcoming weekend. Temperatures today will have a hard time reaching the 60 degree mark which is well below-normal for this time of year and are likely to drop back to near 40 degrees in many spots late tonight for the overnight lows.

A big-time warmup, however, is on the way for the eastern US beginning this Sunday after high pressure pushes off the coast. Temperatures on Sunday afternoon are likely to climb to 80 degrees around here and then climb to the upper 80’s on Monday.

7:00 AM | *Cold front arrives later today and another cool air mass follows for the remainder of the week...80+ degrees for Sunday and Monday*

Paul Dorian

A cold front will slide across the region today bringing with it a few isolated showers, maybe even a rumble of thunder…not at all a significant rain event. The passage of the cold front will usher in another cool air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region for the remainder of the second half of the week. Temperatures are likely to drop to near 40 degrees in some suburban locations by early tomorrow morning and again early Friday morning, and there can be some patchy frost in far N/W outlying areas.

A major temperature pattern change begins later in the weekend with a big-time warm-up for the eastern states. High temperatures around here on Sunday afternoon should be at or slightly above the 80 degree mark and the middle 80’s are likely for Monday afternoon.

7:00 AM | *The passage of a cold front later tomorrow will usher in another chilly air mass for the second half of the week...big warmup next week*

Paul Dorian

After another chilly start to the day, mainly sunny skies will help to boost afternoon temperatures to near 70 degrees for afternoon highs. A cold front will slide across the region on Wednesday tomorrow bringing with it a few showers, maybe a thunderstorm, but not a significant rain event. The passage of the cold front will usher in another chilly air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region for the second half of the week. Temperatures are likely to drop into the 30’s in many suburban locations by early Thursday morning and again early Friday morning and there can be some more in the way of patchy frost.

A major temperature pattern change begins later in the weekend with a warm-up for the eastern states. High temperatures around here on Sunday afternoon should be near the 80 degree mark and 85 degrees is possible on Monday.

10:30 AM | **Much warmer weather pattern begins early next week across the eastern half of the nation coinciding pretty closely with the transition from April to May**

Paul Dorian

There have been occasional cold air outbreaks from Canada into the Northeast US and Mid-Atlantic region during the month of April and this week will be no exception. In fact, low temperatures this morning were in the 30’s across many suburban locations along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor with scattered frost in some areas. Another chilly air mass will push into the northeastern states at mid-week following the passage of a strong cold front and early Thursday morning is likely to feature more low temperatures in the 30’s with patchy frost again on the table.

Next week, however, will feature a big-time warmup across the eastern half of the nation coinciding pretty well with the transition from April into May. Temperatures can climb well up into the 70’s by Sunday afternoon in places like DC, Philly, and New York City and 80+ degrees is possible for highs on Monday and the upcoming pattern change will result in far less frequent outbreaks of chilly air from Canada into the US.

The week starts off with high pressure in control and temperatures on the cool side and a strong cold front will pass through late Wednesday.

Paul Dorian

A frontal system is meandering around the Mid-Atlantic region with big differences expected today from its north side (chilly) and south side (warm). The DC metro region should get into the warmer air later today with afternoon temperatures likely climbing well up in the 70’s. Another frontal system approaches the area later tomorrow bringing with it a chance of afternoon and evening showers. High pressure edges in during the upcoming weekend likely resulting in dry and mild conditions for the weekend and early part of next week.

High pressure builds into the region today following the passage of a cool front late in the day on Monday. A series of fronts and weak low pressure systems will impact the region during the second half of the week with the threat of showers from time-to-time and perhaps a couple of thunderstorms mixed into the picture. High pressure will return to the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend.
