Discussion
A cold front will slowly close in on the east coast today and it’ll result in occasional rain throughout much of the eastern US. As the front stalls out over the western Atlantic on Tuesday, low pressure will form along the boundary zone and this system could impact the region with clouds and possible showers on Tuesday and Wednesday; especially, in areas to the east of Route I-95. A cool front will arrive from the west this weekend finally pushing the low pressure system away from the northwestern part of the Atlantic and another comfortable air mass will move into the Mid-Atlantic.
