FORECAST IN DETAIL
The first two days of the week averaged nearly 15 degrees colder than average and the last two days of the week will likely average 15 degrees above average. How's that for a turnaround? If it's not going to be white, it may as well be warm...
Today (Saturday): The passage of a warm front last night paves the way for an unseasonably mild day. Winds from the south (at around 10 mph) will assist temperatures in their climb into the mid 50s. With a little help from the sun, 60 isn't out of the question. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: More mild air will push northward and night time lows will probably be warmer than average day time highs (mid 40s). Low 50s should about do it for the night time minima, maybe some upper 40s in the 'cooler' suburbs. Confidence: Medium-High
Keep reading for the forecast into early next week.
Tomorrow (Sunday): For one more day it will remain nice'n mild, as temperatures aim for the mid 60s. Sky conditions will likely be mostly cloudy and some showers may develop between late morning and mid-afternoon as a cold front moves through. Confidence: Medium-High
Tomorrow Night: Skies should gradually clear, and it will turn a bit cooler, with lows from the mid- to upper 30 downtown, to the low 30s in the cooler suburbs. Confidence: Medium-High
Both Monday and Tuesday will be cooler than this weekend, but a little warmer than average. High pressure will build into the region providing plenty of sunshine and day time highs in the low 50s and overnight lows 30-35 (suburbs-city). Confidence: Medium-High

Given persistent overcast, I dropped high temperature forecast down to 55-60 (from the low 60s).

Blast of warm wind just a few moments ago in Rockville. Odd. Very odd.

Nothing but sunshine all day here in Harrisonburg, made it up to 71 this afternoon. Tonight we have clear skies in all directions and 53. While attending a family holiday party out in the country I realized how much "light pollution" can block the night sky, even in an area as small as the burg.

Wow! According to the weather station map every-one is in the mid fifties or better. Hope you at least break records for going thru all this. :) I hope you get lots of snow soon.
