7:00 AM | *Warming trend next few days with 80+ degrees on Saturday*

Paul Dorian

A warming trend will begin today in the Mid-Atlantic region and temperatures should reach near 60 degrees this afternoon, into the upper 60’s on Friday, and then likely to near 80 degrees on Saturday afternoon. A cold front will slide through the region late Saturday and stall to our south on Sunday and it can cause a couple of showers in the area.

6:15 AM | *A chilly, windy day here at mid-week, but temperatures rebound nicely next few days...temperatures likely to near 80 degrees on Saturday*

Paul Dorian

A secondary cold front passed through the region last night and has ushered in a chilly air mass for today and the winds will stay quite strong gusting up to 40 mph or so. The chill won’t last too long as a warming trend begins on Thursday and temperatures should reach near 70 degrees by Friday afternoon and likely to near 80 degrees by Saturday afternoon.

6:15 AM | **Winds become a big factor today on the back side of a frontal passage...gusts up to 40 mph or so...a chilly mid-week, but warmer by week's end**

Paul Dorian

After a cold frontal passage in the overnight hours, the pressure gradient between the departing low and an incoming high pressure system will tighten today and the result here will be increasingly strong winds from a west-to-northwest direction...gusting to 40 mph or so. A secondary cold front will pass through the area this evening and it will usher in a chilly air mass for the mid-week with temperatures below-normal for the middle of April. It does warm up rather quickly later in the week and the first half of the weekend is likely to feature high temperatures in the upper 70’s although showers may be a threat on Saturday with an approaching cold frontal system.

**Strong-to-severe thunderstorms in the Ohio Valley/southern Mid-Atlantic...downpours and damaging wind gusts on the table...more severe weather to deal with this weekend in central states**

Paul Dorian

We’re not quite done yet with the cold air intrusions into the northeastern part of the nation and the next strong cold front can produce some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity tonight in portions of the southern Mid-Atlantic region with downpours, vivid lightning and damaging wind gusts on the table. Following the passage of a strong cold front, the winds will become a big factor on Tuesday and Tuesday night with gusts of 40 mph or so from a west-to-northwest direction. The risk of severe weather will increase this weekend across the nation’s mid-section as another clash develops between incoming cold, dry air to the west and warm, humid air to the east.

6:15 AM | *Good chance of showers tonight with next frontal system...maybe a strong thunderstorm...winds a big factor on Tuesday*

Paul Dorian

After a chilly and unsettled start to the weekend, high pressure edged back into the region on Sunday and this system shifts offshore later today and a warm front will lift through the area. A strong cold front then pushes across the region from later tonight into early Tuesday and a secondary cold front crosses on Tuesday night.  Winds will become a noticeable factor on Tuesday following the initial frontal passage with gusts to 40 mph or so on the table from a west-to-northwest direction. It turns much cooler at mid-week with temperatures back to well below-normal levels, but much milder weather returns for the late week and especially for the beginning of the upcoming weekend.

6:15 AM | *Periods of rain today, tonight, and on Saturday and temperatures remain on the chilly side...an outside chance for snowflakes to mix in at times*

Paul Dorian

Wet and unsettled weather will stick around in the Mid-Atlantic region through the first half of the weekend and the colder-than-normal temperatures will remain as well. Waves of low pressure will produce occasional showers here this morning and then steadier, heavier rain from this afternoon into Saturday and total amounts can reach an inch or more which is welcome news in the still somewhat dry Mid-Atlantic region. In fact, this air mass will be chilly enough that snowflakes can mix in at times from late tonight into early Saturday and accumulations are possible across higher elevation locations of northeastern PA. High pressure will resume control later in the weekend and it should turn milder early next week; however, another strong cold front will usher in a chilly air mass on Tuesday night and Wednesday.

6:15 AM | *Remains on the chilly side next few days and waves of low pressure will bring occasional rain from later today into Saturday*

Paul Dorian

An extended period of wet and unsettled weather is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region and the colder-than-normal temperature pattern will continue as well. Waves of low pressure will produce occasional showers here later today into tonight and periods of rain are likely on Friday and Saturday. High pressure will try to resume control later in the weekend and it should turn milder early next week; however, another strong cold front will usher in a chilly air mass by the middle of next week.

6:15 AM | *Unsettled weather pattern returns on Thursday with occasional rain from tomorrow into the weekend*

Paul Dorian

After a dry, chilly day here at mid-week, a slow-moving low pressure system will push into the eastern states keeping it unsettled around here from tomorrow into the upcoming weekend. Clouds will increase later tonight and there will be a chance of rain by tomorrow afternoon and additional chances for rain from Friday into Saturday. High pressure returns for the second half of the weekend and early part of next week providing us with dry and increasingly warmer conditions.

7:00 AM | **An Arctic air mass arrives on strong NW winds...below-freezing temperatures in the overnight hours**

Paul Dorian

A strong cold front came through the region last night and it has ushered into the Mid-Atlantic region an unseasonably cold air mass for this time of year with its origins up in the Arctic region. Temperatures today will do no better than the middle 40’s for afternoon highs and there will be a strong NW wind producing much lower wind chill values. Temperatures are likely to drop to below-freezing later tonight bottoming out in the middle-to-upper 20’s across many suburban locations. With high pressure in control at mid-week, there should be plenty of sunshine on Wednesday; however, temperatures will remain below-normal throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

7:00 AM | **An unusually cold air mass in the Mid-Atlantic region during the first half of the week...20's likely late tomorrow night for lows**

Paul Dorian

A cold front came through the region last night and low pressure has tracked along it into the northeastern part of the nation. A secondary cold front pushes through late tonight and it will usher in an unusually cold air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures are going to fall to near freezing later tonight and likely into the mid-to-upper 20’s late tomorrow night following the passage of the secondary cold front.
