Discussion
A cold frontal system will generate showers in the Mid-Atlantic region today and strong thunderstorms can mix into the picture as well. Following closely on its heels, a secondary cold frontal system is to arrive later Saturday and bring with it another round of showers and possible strong-to-severe thunderstorms. Behind that second cold front, much cooler air will push into the region for the Sunday/Monday time frame and overnight low temperatures could dip into the upper 30’s in some suburban locations. In fact, snowflakes are possible in the high elevations of western Maryland and eastern West Virginia during this next cold air outbreak. It’ll turn warmer later next week, but there will also be multiple chances for rain and some of it may be on the heavy side.
