Discussion

High pressure will control the weather for the next couple of days and while today will be slightly cooler than yesterday, there will be plenty of sunshine along with a stiff NW wind. It’ll turn milder on Thursday ahead of a cold frontal system that will slide through the region on Friday. An area of low pressure will ride along the front on Friday night likely causing periods of rain in the region, but it should clear out of here early Saturday to set us up for a pretty nice weekend throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

Looking ahead, it looks like there will be another widespread cold shot for much of the eastern half of the nation by the middle of next week. The leading edge of this next cold shot (i.e., cold front) will likely produce a significant rainfall in the region on or around Tuesday of next week before much cooler air reaches the east coast. This next shot of cold looks like it will reach all the way down to the Deep South by mid-week.
