We shift our focus to the North with the next cold front that will affect our weather. A mix of clouds and an increase in wind will be the theme today. Temps may get back to 70F in metro areas only to be marked by a big cool down tonight and the rest of the work week.
North wind will bring morning lows into the lower 40s and afternoons in the lower 60s. Inland areas will be cooler and likely to get another frost as the winds settle down Friday morning.
This weekend we warm back up close to 70F, with Sunday being warmer, then a line of rain and thunderstorms arrives late.
I am seeing a possible pattern develop as that next cold front may help spawn a new Coastal Low that sets up early next week. This may miss us and reach New England, but worth watching for helping to pull down cooler air for us.
Next week will have frequent impulses to reinforce the cool air.
Let’s take a look…
The cold front in Pennsylvania has pushed a band of clouds ahead of it and will drop south and bring an increase in wind with it.
North winds on the other side will bring the push of cooler air. The rain across the Great Lakes is not going to reach us in the Mid-Atlantic.

Cooler wind gusts again over 20 mph as the cooler air arrives from the North.
Weekend warm-up will be the theme. Temps should get back to the 70s by Sunday, then a cold front will arrive.
At this time, the timeline looks to bring thunderstorms to the Ohio Valley and high mountains by Sunday afternoon. Then into metro areas Sunday night into Monday morning.
A pocket of cool air will follow, while a new Coastal Low Pressure may develop along the front and move up to New England.
Rain and thunderstorms will move from the Ohio Valley across the mountains and approach metro areas east of the mountains by evening and overnight.
Early rain will move off the coast. We may watch a new area of Low Pressure form along the coast on the cold front.
New Low Pressure moves into New England. This helps to pull in the cold pocket of air aloft.
A few reinforcing impulses with chilly air.
I do expect a late-month warm-up, but the trend is following the calendar to bring us progressively cooler air and a more active storm track.

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I can also make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
