Discussion
Heavy rain is on the way for the I-95 corridor in the time period from late tonight until early tomorrow afternoon. Milder air will surge northward along the eastern seaboard in the overnight hours and any evening rain activity will become steadier and heavier after midnight as temperatures slowly rise and winds pick up out of the southeast. Windy and unseasonably mild conditions will start the day on Thursday along with heavy rain at times, maybe even a rumble of thunder. Much colder air returns late tomorrow following the passage of a strong cold front and the 50's early in the day will likely transition to the 30's by late in the day. It'll be quite cold on Friday and Saturday despite plenty of sunshine each day with temperatures well below-normal for this time of year.
