Discussion
A frontal system continues to hang around the Mid-Atlantic region this morning as it has for the past several days and this front will combine with a couple of other fronts to make the next few days quite unsettled around here. After a damp and dreary start to the week this morning, the afternoon may feature some brightening skies, but a few PM showers are possible and maybe even a thunderstorm. It'll turn very warm and humid on Tuesday and that summer-like weather will continue through Thursday along with a daily threat for showers and thunderstorms. In fact, the thunderstorms that threaten the Mid-Atlantic region later Thursday could become strong-to-severe as a strong cold front sweeps to the east from the Midwest at that time and it'll have strong upper level support associated with the surface frontal system. This same upper level low will continue to cause severe weather today and Tuesday in portions of the Upper Midwest and central Plains before it slides to the east by later Thursday. Following the strong cold frontal passage Thursday night, high pressure will build into the Mid-Atlantic region and, from this vantage point, the Memorial Day weekend looks to be generally cool and dry.
