We’ve got quiet weather for the rest of the work week as high pressure remains in control through Friday. Wednesday will bring another round of nearly uninterrupted sunshine, but will also represent the coldest start to a day for the rest of the week with lows bottoming out in the upper 30s. The sun will help warm us up quite nicely into the mid-60s in the afternoon, a couple clicks above normal for Valentine’s Day.

We turn even warmer on Thursday, albeit with a little bit more in the way of clouds around. Thursday starts in the low 40s and warms to around 70° in the afternoon. A dry cold front will blunt the warming trend on Friday. We start the day in the upper 40s thanks to a little more cloud cover blanketing the area, but highs will be limited to the upper 60s to around 70° under mostly cloudy skies. Still, it should be a nice day.

The next rain chance arrives Saturday as low pressure moving toward the mid-Atlantic states drags a decidedly more wet cold front through the area. High pressure builds in behind it for Sunday, which will briefly cool us off before temperatures rebound to around and slightly above normal values by next Tuesday.
