Discussion

Warm weather will continue today as broad southwesterly flow continues on the backside of an offshore high pressure system. Periods of rain are likely late tonight into early Friday as a strong cool front arrives and there can be a thunderstorm or two mixed in. Some of the rain towards morning and early Friday can be briefly heavy. The Easter weekend is looking decent with “pleasantly cool, dry and sunny” conditions on Saturday and then “sun followed by increasing clouds” on Sunday. Showers are likely to return to the Mid-Atlantic region later Sunday night and continue on Monday as moisture from the southeastern states pushes in our direction.
