Discussion

Areas of low pressure will push from the southwest-to-northeast over the next few days and this will continue our threat for rain right through the upcoming weekend. Today will be another rather chilly day – especially when compared to the warmth of earlier this week – but it’ll turn noticeably milder this weekend although the threat of rain will continue. High pressure will try to build across the area in the early part of next week, but we'll have to monitor another wave of low pressure that could throw additional showers our way late Monday. By the end of next week, we may have to deal with a storm system near the Mid-Atlantic coastline.
