Residents of the Mid-Atlantic region woke up to frosty conditions early this morning, with temperatures dropping below freezing in some areas. A Frost Advisory remained in effect until 8 a.m. for central and Northeast Maryland, extending south to the Virginia Piedmont and parts of southern Maryland, while a Freeze Warning lingered until the same time for portions of the Shenandoah Valley and Potomac Highlands.

However, relief is on the way as high pressure shifts eastward throughout the day. This shift will prompt southerly winds, ushering in warmer temperatures. Expect mostly sunny skies with highs reaching the upper 60s to low 70s.

As the day progresses, a shortwave from the Great Lakes will track southeastward toward the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. While moisture is limited, a few showers are possible later tonight into early Wednesday morning. Cloud cover will increase overnight, with lows around 54°F and south winds picking up to 9 to 11 mph, gusting up to 18 mph.

Wednesday will bring a chance of showers, primarily before 8 a.m., followed by gradually clearing skies. Cloud cover will decrease throughout the day, leading to mostly sunny conditions with a high near 75°F. Winds will shift from southwest to northwest, ranging from 8 to 11 mph, potentially gusting up to 20 mph.

By Wednesday night, expect partly cloudy skies with lows dipping to around 41°F. A north wind at 7 to 9 mph will prevail.

Looking ahead, Thursday promises mostly sunny conditions with a high near 65°F. A gentle north wind of around 6 mph will provide a pleasant backdrop for outdoor activities.

We can expect a continuation of cool but clear weather as high pressure dominates the region today and into tomorrow. According to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service, a cold front is anticipated to pass through the area on Wednesday, ushering in another round of high pressure towards the end of the week.

As of today, an upper trough is approaching from the west, accompanied by surface high pressure centered across the lower Mississippi Valley. This configuration has led to elevated winds and a swath of high clouds, which have somewhat tempered the morning temperatures. However, a period of clear and calm conditions is still anticipated towards sunrise, maintaining the likelihood of frost and freeze conditions and prompting frost/freeze advisories to remain in effect.

Throughout the day, the high-pressure system is expected to strengthen over the area while the upper trough advances eastward. Consequently, mostly sunny skies are forecasted, though temperatures are projected to remain slightly below normal, ranging from the lower to mid-60s.

Tonight, the high pressure will shift towards the Carolinas, increasing the likelihood of calm winds. Skies will remain mostly clear until the approach of some high clouds towards sunrise. While dew points are expected to rise slightly, remaining in the lower 30s across much of the region, conducive conditions for radiational cooling will persist.

This may result in rural areas experiencing temperatures dropping into the mid to upper 30s, while urban centers are likely to remain in the mid-40s. Additional Frost Advisories are expected, with some areas, such as the Shenandoah Valley and Culpeper Basin, possibly touching freezing temperatures.

Looking ahead, Tuesday is anticipated to bring mostly sunny conditions, with temperatures climbing slightly higher, reaching around 72°F. However, Tuesday night may see a slight chance of showers after 2 a.m., with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures around 55°F. Winds are forecasted to pick up from the south at 8 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.

Wednesday is expected to bring a slight chance of showers, with partly sunny skies and a high near 74°F. Winds are forecasted to shift from the northwest at 8 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.

According to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service, a cold front is approaching, causing weather changes.

Today, cloudy skies will dominate the region, with temperatures reaching a high near 64 degrees Fahrenheit. A southeast wind of around 7 mph is expected. While there’s a chance of scattered showers, particularly before 2 a.m., residents can anticipate mostly cloudy conditions tonight with a low of around 52 degrees Fahrenheit. Patchy fog may develop between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m.

Conditions will continue to fluctuate as the weekend progresses. Saturday will start mostly cloudy but gradually become sunny, with a high near 72 degrees. A northwest wind of around 10 mph will usher in cooler air. Saturday night will bring partly cloudy skies, with a low of about 43 degrees and a north wind of 6 to 9 mph.

On Sunday, expect mostly cloudy conditions once again, with a high near 64 degrees Fahrenheit. The north wind will shift to the west in the afternoon, blowing at 5 to 7 mph.

The forecast suggests that low pressure tracking northward will usher in a cold front, causing showers to move through the area late tonight. While shower chances will increase west of the Blue Ridge throughout the morning, the likelihood of widespread precipitation remains uncertain. However, keep an umbrella handy as scattered showers may persist.

With cooler air gradually entering the region, temperatures are expected to fluctuate, ranging from the lower 40s in higher elevations to the mid-50s in southern and eastern areas.

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.

As a cold front leisurely makes its way southward, residents across the region can expect a shift in weather patterns, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service. The front, initially pushing below the I-66/U.S. 50 corridor is anticipated to stall near the Virginia/North Carolina border, marking the transition to cooler temperatures and increased precipitation chances.

The front’s departure is accompanied by a noticeable drop in dew point, signaling the arrival of drier air. Despite the recent warmth, temperatures are expected to dip to more seasonal levels, with highs in the low to mid-70s across much of the area, a welcome change from the 80-degree temperatures observed earlier this week.

Throughout the afternoon and evening, the Allegheny Highlands and Shenandoah Valley may experience scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. While the risk of severe weather remains low due to weaker shear profiles, residents in these areas are advised to stay weather-aware.

Looking ahead, the weather pattern is set to become more unsettled as the week progresses. Wednesday brings the potential for showers, with thunderstorms possible in the late afternoon and evening hours. Highs are expected to hover around 73 degrees, with southeast winds of 5 to 7 mph.

Thursday sees the passage of a weak cold front, followed by the arrival of a stronger cold front early in the weekend. These fronts are likely to bring further chances of precipitation, albeit with varying intensities.

Despite the inclement weather on the horizon, there is a silver lining for outdoor enthusiasts. High pressure is forecasted to return on Sunday and into early next week, offering a respite from the unsettled conditions.

National Weather Service: A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia until 10 p.m.

Here is today’s full forecast, sponsored by the Prince William County Parks and Rec Department.

We should remain weather-aware today as the National Weather Service predicts the possibility of severe thunderstorms later today. Showers and a few thunderstorms have been drifting southeastward across the northern half of the forecast area early this morning. Although this activity is expected to weaken and dissipate prior to daybreak, clouds may linger into the first half of the morning.

A cold front will slowly move southward across the region, creating conditions conducive to the development of thunderstorms this afternoon. Daytime heating will contribute to instability. Thunderstorms will likely develop, primarily south of I-66/US-50 and east of US-15.

While the exact locations where thunderstorms will form are uncertain, any area within the forecast region has at least a slight chance of experiencing thunderstorms. However, areas further west may experience limited storm coverage due to downsloping winds drying out the boundary layer. In contrast, areas further north may see fewer storms due to limited low-level convergence.

The storms that do develop are expected to be vital to severe. Model soundings suggest an environment more typical of the High Plains than the Mid-Atlantic, with steep lapse rates and the potential for damaging winds and hail. While tornadoes are not expected due to the dry boundary layer and minimal low-level shear, residents should remain vigilant as severe weather can quickly develop.

The I-95 corridor south of D.C. to southern Maryland stands the greatest chance of experiencing severe storms. These storms are forecasted to progress to the south and east this evening, leading to overnight dry conditions.

As the weather pattern evolves into Tuesday and Wednesday, a narrow ridge of high pressure will build overhead, bringing primarily sunny conditions on Tuesday with a high near 76. However, residents should remain vigilant as a weak band of warm advection aloft may cause showers and thunderstorms to develop, primarily to the west of the Blue Ridge.

We will see varied weather patterns in the coming days, as outlined by the National Weather Service.

Currently, high pressure is positioned offshore and is expected to persist throughout the middle of the week. Meanwhile, a frontal system is on the horizon, approaching from the west. This setup could lead to sporadic weather conditions with cloudy spells and occasional sunshine.

As of late morning, bands of clouds have been observed stretching across the Mid-Atlantic region. These clouds have resulted in variable conditions, with some areas experiencing overcast skies while others enjoy clear, sunny weather.

Despite the cloud cover, rain chances are relatively low for most of the region today. Only a few showers or sprinkles are expected, primarily near a weak lifting warm front over northern and north-central Maryland. Some isolated showers may develop near and west of the Blue Ridge and Catoctin Mountains this afternoon, but overall, the day is forecasted to remain dry for most areas.

Moving into tonight, mostly cloudy conditions are expected, with the possibility of a couple of showers across northern Maryland or west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. However, the night is expected to remain predominantly dry for most of the area. Towards daybreak, some more organized shower activity may approach the Appalachians.

Looking ahead to Thursday, showers are likely, with thunderstorms also possible after 3 pm. The day will be characterized by cloudy skies, with a high near 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The chance of precipitation is 60%, with new rainfall amounts between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, except for higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Thursday night is expected to bring showers and possibly a thunderstorm, mainly before 2 am, followed by scattered showers and thunderstorms after 2 a.m. Patchy fog is also possible before 2 am, with a low of around 56 degrees Fahrenheit. The chance of precipitation is 100%, with new rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

As we head into Friday, scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecasted, alongside partly sunny conditions and a high near 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The chance of precipitation is 40%.
