Discussion

A frontal system has stalled in the region and this boundary zone will act as a conduit for moisture to ride along into the Mid-Atlantic during the next couple of days. While today will be mainly rain-free, there can be an occasional shower late in the afternoon and more numerous showers are likely tonight and Friday. As a cold front approaches the east coast late in the day on Friday, there can be some convective activity developing in the area with scattered thunderstorms possible late tomorrow or tomorrow night. Once this cold front clears the coast early in the weekend, the overall trend will be for clearing; however, that break won’t last too long as another moisture-laden system will arrive with significant rainfall later Monday and Monday night.
