Discussion

A broad area of low pressure over the southeastern states is drifting very slowly to the northeast and will pass over the region in the Wednesday/Thursday time frame. Periods of rain are likely late tonight and Wednesday and this will include the chance for a couple of thunderstorms and some of the rain can be heavy at times. The unsettled weather conditions will continue later this week as well although it'll get milder by Friday afternoon. A couple of cold fronts will pass through the region this weekend and that will set the stage for cooler weather along with the threat for showers. A very chilly air mass for this time of year will make its way to the Northeast US by early next week following the passage of the second cold front later in the weekend.
