Discussion

A cold front passed through the area on Tuesday and has ushered in a reinforcing cold air mass for the Mid-Atlantic region. The frontal passage has also led to a drier atmosphere which will allow for the return of sunshine today as high pressure builds into the region. In fact, the high pressure system will control the weather around here for the next couple of days with chilly conditions, a noticeable breeze and plenty of sunshine. Low pressure heads to the Carolina coastline on Friday morning and likely stays to our south and east as it heads to the northeast and out-to-sea. Another winter storm is likely to threaten the southern and eastern US next week and this one will need to be closely monitored right through the upcoming weekend as it has great potential.
