Temperatures are going to take a 180-degree turn on Sunday, with much milder air surging through the eastern part of the country.
Temperatures remain on the chilly side at the present time across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast, but that's all going to change by Sunday.
An area of high pressure anchoring itself off the East Coast will send a surge of milder air into the northeastern quadrant of the country.
Most cities and towns from Washington, D.C., through Philadelphia and Allentown, Pa., along with New York City and Boston will become 15-20 degrees warmer than what it was today.

That translates to widespread high temperatures in the 50s and 60s, which is a welcome sight for those still on Spring Break or getting ready to go on Spring Break.
Below is a list of Saturday's actual high temperatures vs. the forecasted high for Sunday (in degrees Fahrenheit):

City	Actual High Thru 3 P.M. Saturday	Forecasted High Sunday
Washington, D.C.	48	62
Philadelphia, Pa.	42	60
New York City	41	59
Boston, Mass.	38	54

The pleasant temperatures will be accompanied by bright sunshine and little in the way of wind.
The mild weather won't stop here either!
As Meteorologist Matt Alto reported earlier Saturday, as unseasonably warm weather spans across much of the eastern part of the country."
High temperatures by midweek will reach the 70s across the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore region with 60s being felt all the way northward into central New England.
