Discussion
Surface low pressure will form later this morning across northern Virginia and intensify as it pulls northward through Pennsylvania and into New York State. Aiding in the development of this powerful surface low pressure system is a combination of strong upper-level energy and energetic jet streaks and this setup will lead to the formation of occasional heavy rain and strong-to-severe thunderstorms for parts of the Mid-Atlantic region; especially, from Route I-95 to the coast. On the backside of the storm, it’ll turn much cooler and windy on Friday with additional light rain showers possible in the I-95 corridor and accumulating snow is likely in the Ohio Valley, Great Lakes and in the higher elevations of the Appalachian Mountains. After a cool day on Saturday, we'll have great weather for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
