Discussion
High pressure will build into the region for the rest of the work week and it’ll be a bit cooler than recent days. It is looking increasing likely that a significant rain event is going to unfold for the Mid-Atlantic region by Sunday – all ahead of the next cold shot - as low pressure forms along an incoming frontal boundary zone. On Monday, NW winds will usher in cold air for this time of year after the passage of a strong cold front.
