A cold front will slip southward through the area Monday night with some scattered showers.  With the front south of us on Tuesday, temperatures will be a little cooler.  Highs will range from the low and mid 50s across northern Virginia to some lower 60s in southern Virginia.  Even though this will be cooler than Sunday's and Monday's highs, these temperatures will still be above the normal high of 48°.
