Discussion

A strong cold front will press eastward today from the Midwest and it will generate more rain for the I-95 corridor and there can be a strong-to-severe thunderstorm mixed in as well. Once the front slides off the east coast late tonight, cooler air will spread into the Mid-Atlantic region for the next couple of days. By early Friday, low pressure will form in the southern states and make a push in our direction likely resulting in more rain around here at week’s end. Following this late week system, colder-than-normal air will flood into the eastern third of the nation for the upcoming weekend and a second shot of winter-like cold air will push southeastward into our area during the first half of next week.
