A backdoor cold front will push through the area later today moving in a northeast-to-southwest direction and its passage will pave the way for an unseasonably cool weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region. In addition to the unseasonably cool conditions this weekend, low pressure will bring us rain; primarily, in the Saturday/Saturday night time frame, but a few showers can linger into Sunday. While the weekend looks wet for much of the time, it will be a beneficial rainfall for the Mid-Atlantic region. It turns drier and milder on Monday and then another low pressure can bring us some shower activity on Tuesday and/or Wednesday.

The weather pattern will become quite unsettled in coming days with multiple chances of showers and thunderstorms and some of the storms can be on the severe side. A deepening upper-level jet stream that will trend southward in coming days will bring more unstable conditions to the Deep South as we progress through late April and into early May.

High pressure will edge into the region today resulting in dry and warmer conditions to go along with copious amounts of sunshine after early morning patchy fog dissipates. A backdoor cool front will slide through the area late Friday – perhaps with a shower or thunderstorm - and the weekend will turn out to be quite cool as a result. In addition, showers are likely on Saturday as low pressure pushes into the northeastern part of the country and a shower or two can linger into the early hours on Sunday. The weather turns drier and warmer on Monday following what will be a cool and unsettled weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region, but another system can bring us another round of showers by Tuesday.

As noted in the 2026 Tropical Outlook, El Nino is likely to be a major player with respect to the upcoming tropical season in the Atlantic Basin and all signs continue to point to the increase of water temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Not only have surface water temperatures climbed dramatically in the tropical Pacific Ocean in recent days, but some very warm water lurks just beneath the surface, and it is “bubbling” up to the top.
The development of El Nino in the tropical Pacific is actually having some current effects on the upper air flow across the continental US with a more favorable environment for severe weather outbreaks and better opportunities for rain from the Rocky Mountain States to the Mid-Atlantic region. Looking ahead, the combination of an El Nino episode in the Pacific Ocean and an area of cooler-than-normal water in the Atlantic’s Main Development Region may result in below-normal tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin during the summer and fall seasons. Should El Nino continue into the 2026-2027 winter season - and odds are good - it would also have big implications for the weather across the continental US...something we’ll monitor in the months to come.

Temperatures will rebound some for the next few days, but it’ll then turn cooler and unsettled for the upcoming weekend. A weak system can bring occasional showers to the area today and then high pressure builds in on Thursday producing comfortable, dry conditions. Low pressure will likely bring a widespread rainfall to the Mid-Atlantic region on Saturday and temperatures will be cooler doing no better than the low-to-mid 50’s for afternoon highs.
