Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
Huge temperature drop ahead… A cold front is moving toward the Mid-Atlantic and will dramatically change our temperature trend over the next few days. Expect highs in the low to mid 70s today, about 10 degrees above normal for this time of year. We will see plenty of sunshine today with clouds starting to build in as the front approaches tonight. Expect scattered showers tonight and into early Tuesday morning. Showers will taper off and skies will clear by midday Tuesday but it will be much colder. Highs will only climb into the upper 40s tomorrow, about 15 degrees below normal. It will still be windy today and tomorrow with gusts to 30+ mph. Winds will shift from SW today to north tomorrow.
We will warm back into the 60s for Wednesday with plenty of sunshine but rain returns for Thursday and Friday. Highs will swing between the 50s and 60s to end the work week and for the weekend. As of now, the weekend looks dry.
