Having a day of near record highs, and a potential heavy snow fall a day or two later is not that unusual especially as we get to the latter stages of the winter season. It has happened quite a few times in late February and March, especially in years where winters are having warmer than normal temperatures. That said, today is the very warm day of the next 5 days as we have a west wind and some sunshine. That should boost highs to the upper 50s and lower 60s this afternoon. Some stations have low hanging fruit when it comes to record highs so they should be hit. The amount of sunshine we get will determine who breaks above 60 degrees.

Radars for now are nice and quiet but later this afternoon and into this evening some scattered rain showers are possible as a cold front makes its way through the Northeast and Mid Atlantic states. Scattered showers will be around through the evening hours and then afterwards leftover clouds with most lows Sunday morning in the upper 30s to middle 40s.
