Discussion
As has been the case many times during the past few months, the passage of a frontal system will not be the end of the story in terms of the potential for rain. A strong cool front passed through the region last night and it will stall out this morning just to the southeast of here. Low pressure is going to then ride up along the frontal boundary zone and will spread some significant rainfall into the region from late today into early Friday. Once that system scoots away, high pressure is likely to take over for the weekend leading to dry conditions and very comfortable temperatures throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
