High pressure has moved off the southeast coast. Southerly flow is developing and will transport warmer air into the region. Expect mostly sunny skies today with highs in the mid 50s.

The flow will strengthen tomorrow as a cold front moves in from the west. Temperatures will climb to near 60 degrees as clouds increase through the day.

Winter begins on Saturday but it will definitely feel more like spring. Expect more clouds than sun but despite those clouds, temperatures will continue to warm. Highs will be in the mid to upper 60s.

Expect showers to develop Saturday night as the front moves closer. The showers will continue on Sunday and an isolated thunderstorm cannot be ruled out during the afternoon. Highs in the low 70s on Sunday will be in record territory. The record high at BWI is 70 set in 1889.

The front crosses Sunday night, bringing an end to the warmth as well as the rain. Highs on Monday will be in the upper 40s to near 50 and will only be around 40 on Tuesday under mostly sunny skies.

The rest of the week looks dry, with just a slight chance of snow showers near the end of the week.
