7:00 AM | *A cool week in the Mid-Atlantic region featuring overnight lows in the 30's in many spots and some patchy frost*

Paul Dorian

This will be a rather chilly week in the Mid-Atlantic region with multiple nights featuring overnight lows in the 30’s in some of the far N/W suburbs and even some patchy frost . The week starts off with high pressure in control and temperatures on the cool side and a strong cold front will pass through late Wednesday. The mid-week frontal passage will usher in a reinforcing chilly air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region that’ll stick around into the end of the week.

7:00 AM | *A frontal system meanders across the Mid-Atlantic region today with much warmer on its south side*

Paul Dorian

A frontal system is meandering around the Mid-Atlantic region with big differences expected today from its north side (chilly) and south side (warm). The DC metro region should get into the warmer air later today with afternoon temperatures likely climbing well up in the 70’s. Another frontal system approaches the area later tomorrow bringing with it a chance of afternoon and evening showers. High pressure edges in during the upcoming weekend likely resulting in dry and mild conditions for the weekend and early part of next week.

7:00 AM | *A nice day today, but somewhat unsettled for the second half of the week*

Paul Dorian

High pressure builds into the region today following the passage of a cool front late in the day on Monday. A series of fronts and weak low pressure systems will impact the region during the second half of the week with the threat of showers from time-to-time and perhaps a couple of thunderstorms mixed into the picture. High pressure will return to the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend.

7:00 AM | ***A very warm and unsettled day to start off the new work week with strong-to-severe PM thunderstorms a possibility***

Paul Dorian

A cool front will slowly work its way through the region today and its proximity can produce afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. In fact, some of the PM thunderstorms can be on the strong-to-severe side; especially, in the southern half of the DC metro region with damaging wind gusts and hail on the table. A series of frontal systems and low pressure areas will impact the region during the second half of the week with the threat of showers from time-to-time.

6:45 AM | **Still the threat of showers around here today and there can be a thunderstorm mixed in...any thunderstorm can generate small hail**

Paul Dorian

A strong cold front will slide through the region this morning and then a second one late today/early tonight. As a result, the threat of showers will continue around here right into the evening hours and there can be a thunderstorm or two mixed into the picture...any thunderstorm today can generate some small hail. It’ll turn cooler later tonight following the passage of the second front and the weekend will start off on the windy side as high pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region. It turns warmer on Sunday and afternoon temperatures can peak in the upper 70’s, but there will be a chance of late day and evening shower activity.

7:00 AM | **Cold front approaches later today with numerous PM showers, maybe a thunderstorm...rain/thunderstorm threat continues on Friday...some of the rain will be heavy**

Paul Dorian

A strong cold front will head in this direction later today and it is going to generate numerous afternoon and evening showers and maybe a strong thunderstorm or two. The threat of rain and thunderstorms will continue on Friday, some of the rain will be heavy at times during the next 36 hours, and any thunderstorm can generate small hail. It’ll turn noticeably cooler later tomorrow night following the passage of the cold front and the weekend will start off on the cool, windy side as high pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region. It turns warmer early next week with 75+ degrees possible for highs on Sunday and Monday.

Yesterday turned out to be a very warm day in the Mid-Atlantic region with many areas flirting with the 80 degree mark for afternoon highs. While not quite as warm today, it’ll remain quite mild with temperatures climbing into the middle 70’s this afternoon in the DC area.  A strong cold front heads this way later Thursday and this system is likely to generate numerous showers around here and maybe a strong thunderstorm or two from later tomorrow into late Friday. High pressure heads this way for the weekend with slightly cooler conditions on Saturday and then very mild weather for Sunday and Monday.

Monday, April 8th, 2024 - *Eclipse times in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor.*

Paul Dorian

Eclipse times, peak percentage:

Philly 2:08 pm to 4:35 pm (90%)

DC 2:04 pm to 4:32 pm (89%)

NYC 2:10 pm to 4:36 pm (90%)

A mix of sun and clouds today as a warm front advances from southwest-to-northeast across the western Mid-Atlantic region. Looking at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed Sun through dark sunglasses or any other unapproved filter is a recipe for serious and potentially permanent eye injury (i.e., do not use regular sunglasses).
