Discussion
Low pressure will intensify along the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Thursday and the result will be a rainy day in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor along with chilly conditions. Much colder air will flood the Northeast US and Mid-Atlantic region later Thursday night and Friday and this Arctic blast will be accompanied by a strong wave of energy in the upper atmosphere. As a result, Friday is likely to feature windy and cold conditions along with the possibility of snow showers in the Philly metro region. The cold will stick around as we begin the weekend, but it’ll turn noticeably milder on Sunday to go along with plenty of sunshine.
