Discussion

A couple of low pressure systems will come out of the southern states and head our way over the next few days. The first system will skirt the DC metro region late tonight and early Thursday with some rainfall before it pulls away from the east coast later Thursday. The second and stronger system will impact the Mid-Atlantic with periods of rain on Friday night and early Saturday before it then pulls away from the east seaboard. High pressure dominates the scene later this weekend and early next week before a strong cold front likely arrives on Tuesday with showers.
