After a cold morning, with a frost advisory in effect for much of the area until 9 a.m., expect a pleasant, seasonable Sunday with sunshine returning by the afternoon and highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.
By early this week, the weather pattern will become more active. Low pressure develops off the Carolinas on Monday and tracks out to sea, followed by another system forming off the southern Mid-Atlantic Tuesday into Wednesday.Â

This second storm could move north along the coast on Thursday, bringing gusty onshore winds, rain and coastal flooding concerns, especially for shore and back bay communities already affected by earlier storms.Â
Thursday will be the rainiest day, but this will NOT be anything like the coastal storm we were tracking two weeks ago.
Conditions will remain chilly through the end of the week before high pressure returns Friday into the weekend.
