Discussion
Another shot of cold air has pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region from central Canada and we’ll stay colder-than-normal for the next couple days as we begin the new month of April. Low pressure will intensify off the Carolina coastline by late tomorrow, but it looks like its main impact will stay just to the east of here as it slides into the western Atlantic. This system, however, still needs to be closely monitored. High pressure will build into the region for much of Wednesday and Thursday and then another low is likely to bring us some rain on Thursday night and Friday.
