Discussion

A change to a more comfortable weather pattern in the Mid-Atlantic region will begin over the next couple of days with the passage of a strong cool frontal system. Following this initial frontal passage later tomorrow, more comfortable air will push into the region for the mid and late week. By the weekend, a deep upper-level trough is likely to form over the Great Lakes and this will lead to an unsettled weekend. This initial strong cool frontal passage may result in decent rainfall around here later tomorrow with numerous showers and possible thunderstorms. The weekend system is likely to generate some more decent rainfall as well in the Mid-Atlantic region.
