A strong cold front will push through the region early today paving the way for breezy and cool conditions in the Mid-Atlantic and temperatures late tonight can drop to the lower 40’s in many suburban locations. High pressure will take control on Friday, but its impact will be rather short-lived and limited as an intensifying low pressure system heads to a position just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Saturday. The DC-to-PHL-to-NYC corridor will be on the northwest edge of the precipitation shield on Saturday, but some rain cannot be ruled out. Whether this area of rain makes it into the region, the weekend will turn out to be on the cool side of normal and the overall cooler weather pattern looks likely to continue well into the month of May.

A strong cold front will push through the region early today paving the way for breezy and cool conditions in the Mid-Atlantic and temperatures late tonight can drop to near 40 degrees in many suburban locations.

May gets underway on Friday, and it looks like a cooler-than-normal pattern will dominate in the eastern half of the nation to at least the middle of the new month. Multiple cooler than normal air masses are likely to push into the north-central states from central Canada during those next couple of weeks and these will ultimately spread to the south and east and encompass the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast US. A favorable pattern for the transport of cooler-than-normal air masses from Canada into the US will feature a persistent upper-level trough centered near the Great Lakes as well as some “high-latitude blocking” up across northeastern Canada and Greenland. In addition to the expected cooler conditions, multiple rain events are on the table during the next couple of weeks beginning with one from later today into early Thursday which will impact the Mid-Atlantic region.

An unsettled weather pattern will bring us the chance for more showers and thunderstorms today with the jet stream more activated than normal for this time of year and displaced farther to the south. This “activated” jet stream is the atmosphere’s response to the initial signs of El Nino conditions in the tropical Pacific with warmer-than-normal water temperatures now observed at surface level.

Low pressure will head towards the northeastern states here at mid-week and it should bring us a decent rainfall from later today into early Thursday and a strong-to-severe thunderstorm can be in the mix. High pressure takes over for the late week and then we’ll have to monitor a coastal storm on Saturday. This system can sideswipe us with some rainfall to begin the weekend or it could just miss us to the south and east....in either case, the weekend will be on the cool side and the cool pattern will continue well into May.

An unsettled weather pattern will bring strong-to-severe thunderstorms to northern Alabama today and some of the rain will be heavy at times with as much as a couple of inches in localized areas. The overall unsettled pattern will continue into May as the jet stream has become activated and displaced farther south than usual for this time of year. This unsettled pattern will result in additional severe weather threats as well in coming days across the Tennessee Valley.
