Discussion              

A cold front passed through the region late yesterday and has ushered in a chilly air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures during the next 48 hours will be well below-normal for the end of April and overnight lows in the 30’s will be commonplace across suburban areas.  The combination of departing low pressure to our northeast and approaching high pressure from our west will result in a persistent NW wind during the next couple of days that can gust past 30 mph at times.  Some modification in temperatures will take place at week’s end and the weekend is looking rather quiet and mild for the most part with highs generally in the 60’s.
