A strong cold front will barrel through the Mid-Atlantic region on Friday morning and this system will be quite active with heavy rainfall and powerful winds from later tomorrow night into Friday. There is even the chance that a squall line of gusty thunderstorms forms right along the frontal boundary zone which could result in downpours and gusty winds right around the Friday AM commute in the I-95 corridor. After a mild start to the day on Friday, temperatures are likely to drop markedly during the mid-day and afternoon hours as the next colder-than-normal air mass pours into the Mid-Atlantic region. Snow showers will develop on Friday across some of the higher elevation interior locations and one or two of these can make their way into the I-95 corridor. The weather will settle down for the weekend with dry conditions expected on both days and a moderate chill in the air.

It stays relatively mild here at mid-week and then a cold front will approach later Thursday. That front can bring shower and thunderstorm activity to the area on Thursday afternoon and evening before cooler air returns for the end of the week.

The big story today will be the very strong downsloping winds which can gust into the 50-60 mph range in the metro region and even higher than that near the base of the foothills. It will be cooler on Thursday and not as windy following the late-night passage of a frontal system that can produce some rain and/or snow shower activity.

Temperatures have been below-normal for about twenty days in a row in many spots of the Mid-Atlantic region and the relentless cold pattern that started around Thanksgiving Day is about to come to an end. It turns milder for today and Thursday as high pressure shifts to the east of here and mild conditions will begin the day on Friday just ahead of the passage of a strong cold front. That front will result in a soaking rain event for the Mid-Atlantic region from later tomorrow night into Friday morning and there can be a rumble of thunder as well. The rain will be heavy at times and combined with snowmelt in many areas of the Mid-Atlantic region can produce ponding of water by early Friday so be on the lookout for that to take place. Once the front clears the coast by mid-day Friday, temperatures will drop from the mild levels of the morning, and winds will pick up noticeably from a northwesterly direction…gusting into the 40-50 mph range.

The next big weather event in the Mid-Atlantic region will feature rain associated with a strong cold front and there can even be a thunderstorm in the mix before the frontal system clears the area. The rain can come down hard at times from late Thursday night into Friday morning and - given the current snow cover in much of the area – we’ll have to watch for the possibility of some localized flooding. The strong cold front will pass through the Mid-Atlantic region during Friday morning, and strong winds will develop on its backside from a northwesterly direction gusting to 40 mph or so...even higher wind gusts are likely across New England. In addition, temperatures are likely to drop markedly as the cold air mass pours into the region and snow showers are likely to develop; especially, in some of the higher elevation interior locations. The weather will settle down for the weekend with dry conditions expected on both days and a moderate chill in the air.

Another cold day is in store for the Mid-Atlantic region today as high pressure slowly shifts to our south before weakening and pushing offshore on Wednesday. A warm front will push northward through the area by Thursday and temperatures should reach the low-to-mid 50’s for afternoon highs. An active cold front will slide across the region late Thursday night and rain is likely into the early morning hours on Friday. On the heels of the cold frontal passage, winds will pick up noticeably on Friday and (moderately) colder air will make a return into the northeastern part of the country.
