Not really looking that warm for next week
The earlier arrival of a cold front and rain on Tuesday may stymie the potential warmup this week ... so maybe not the 60s like I hinted at in today's Weather Journal column. Still, temperatures will be well above freezing so there will be no significant threat of wintry weather with the next system. The late week system is another matter ... it is possible that some moisture may make it into cold air, at least to start. No use getting too specific about that now. The picture will change many times before then.

Is there any chance of artic air coming back into VA and staying around for awhile?

Doesn't look like it in the next 7-10 days or so. Two problems: (1) No high pressure in right spot in the North Atlantic to "block" the jet stream and force it south. Haven't really had that all winter. (2) Storm track favors the Ohio Valley/Great Lakes the next several days, maybe a couple of weeks or even longer. We'll be on the warm side of each of those systems, so any cold air will be swept out.
