Discussion
Scattered showers have moved into the region as a strong cold front slowly advances towards the east coast and they’ll continue off and on for the next several hours with a possible strong thunderstorm or two mixed in as well. Steadier and heavier rain will develop late in the day or early tonight and continue into early Saturday as low pressure forms along the frontal boundary zone and enhances upward motion over the Mid-Atlantic region. There can also be a strong-to-severe thunderstorm tonight and flash flooding may become a concern during some of the expected downpours. Cooler and drier air will pour into the region later tomorrow on stiff NW winds gusting to 50 mph and it’ll stay cooler-than-normal on Sunday as well. More inclement weather is likely during the first half of next week with a couple of new disturbances threatening us with additional rain - one on Monday and a second by Tuesday night. One final note, it is time this weekend to once again to turn back the clocks - a sure sign that winter is fast approaching.
