The cool air settles into the mid-Atlantic on Wednesday with gusty northwest winds over 30 mph. Skies will be mostly sunny but high temperatures will drop back below average in the lower 60s.
The good news is, the cool air mass will modify on Thursday with highs back near average in the mid 60s with sunshine.
Friday will be even warmer as a warm front moves through the region. This will bring highs back above average in the lower 70s. However, the warm front will bring the chance for a few showers.
Today is also Earth Day, a day to take action to help protect the Earth. The day was founded on April 22, 1970 by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson. Because of Earth Day, the Clean Air & Water Act and the Endangered Specifies act was formed.
