Discussion

Temperatures will climb into the 60’s today and will remain on the mild side on Wednesday before big changes take place on Thursday. An Arctic frontal system will slide through the region later tomorrow and temperatures on Thursday should hold in the 40’s. There can be some snow shower activity Thursday night into early Friday, but nothing significant, and the bigger weather story will be the influx of Arctic air. Once established, it appears as if this cold weather pattern will stick around for awhile in the Mid-Atlantic region and another Arctic blast – perhaps even colder than this initial outbreak - is destined to reach the US by the early part of next week.
