Discussion
A strong cold front passed through the region early this morning and the weather will improve today although it’ll become quite breezy and a bit cooler than yesterday It’ll turn even cooler on Wednesday and then another strong cold front will be headed towards the Northeast US later in the week. As this next cool shot closes in on the Northeast US, strong surface low pressure will form in the southern states supported by a vigorous upper-level system. The strong low pressure system area will push towards the Great Lakes later in the week and the result should be a soaking rain event in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor focused on late Thursday night and early Friday. Once the cool air arrives following that late week frontal passage, it will be slow to depart as an “omega-shaped” blocking pattern will unfold in the upper atmosphere across the nation. In fact, colder-than-normal conditions are likely in the Mid-Atlantic region from this weekend into late next week.
