A stable atmosphere blankets the region as a long-lived outflow boundary pushes south and eastward. Radar echoes near the Mason-Dixon Line hint at light shower activity, but forecasters predict minimal impact from these isolated showers.

This weak cold front, currently spanning central West Virginia to western Pennsylvania, is forecasted to pass through by midday, bringing northwesterly winds and gusts up to 15 to 20 mph. This downsloping effect will usher in warm mid-April temperatures, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s across the Mid-Atlantic. Cooler conditions are anticipated along the Allegheny Front and northeastern Maryland, where highs will hover in the mid to upper 60s.

As evening approaches, winds will shift to an east-northeastern direction, reintroducing marine stratus and leading to a cooler night compared to recent days. Lows will be mainly in the mid- to upper 40s. Shower chances are expected to hold off until after sunrise on Friday.

Forecast Summary:

  • Today: Mostly sunny with a high near 81. Northwest winds of 5 to 8 mph.
  • Tonight: Increasing clouds with a low of around 49. East winds of 6 to 8 mph.
  • Friday: Chance of showers after 2 pm. Mostly cloudy with a high near 70. Southeast winds around 6 mph. The chance of precipitation is 30%.
  • Friday Night: There is a chance of showers and thunderstorms before 11 pm, then a chance of showers between 11 pm and 2 am. Mostly cloudy with a low of around 53. Southeast winds around 6 mph become light and variable in the evening. The chance of precipitation is 30%.
