Discussion
A very active weather pattern shaping up for the next ten days or so. Moisture will ride up today along a stalled out frontal boundary zone into the Mid-Atlantic region from the Deep South and the result will be more heavy rainfall. In fact, there will be significant rain into tonight up and down the I-95 corridor and a few thunderstorms can mix in as well in these unseasonably warm conditions. The frontal system finally pushes through on Thursday and we’ll dry out some and cool down compared to the warm conditions of today. Even colder air pushes in on Friday and the weekend looks like it’ll turn out cold with mainly dry conditions to start. By late in the weekend, a storm from the southern states could affect us and it may be just cold enough to make it interesting. Looking ahead, all signs point to a major league widespread cold air outbreak by the end of next week across much of the US.
