The Backdoor Divide: Why Friday Will Be 80Β° in One Town and 40Β° in Another A backdoor front brings 40s and fog to the NE on Friday, while the SW hits the 80s. Record-breaking warmth is possible next week before a midweek reality check.

Friday’s forecast is brought to you by the 'Mid-Atlantic Identity Crisis.' You’ll need the AC in the car, a parka for the morning fog, and a map to figure out why your cousin three towns over is 35 degrees colder than you.
