Discussion
A cold frontal system passed through the region late yesterday and has stalled out in the southern part of the Mid-Atlantic. Low pressure will form along the frontal boundary zone over the Tennessee Valley this morning and head towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline producing rain in the I-95 corridor. It could be just cold enough in some of the higher elevation regions to the north and west of here for some sleet or snow to mix in with the rain later today and tonight. An even stronger cold front will arrive here on Thursday night with gusty winds and it'll usher in the coldest air mass of the season so far for Friday and Saturday. In fact, temperatures are likely to drop to near 20 degrees by early Saturday morning and highs on Friday and Saturday could be confined to the 30's. There will be some modification in temperatures early next week.
