Discussion
Low pressure that is generating rain in the region will push north of here later this morning, but that will not be the end of the threat for rain. A cold front approaches the region later today and will cause scattered PM showers and thunderstorms. Any rain this morning associated with the low pressure system can be heavy at times and the same goes for any late day showers and thunderstorms associated with the cold frontal passage. High pressure builds into the area on Friday and it’ll combine with low pressure to the north to produce strong winds on Friday to go along with cooler-than-normal temperatures and comfortable humidity levels. The high shifts off the coast on Saturday and this will allow more moisture to push in this direction for the early part of next week. The threat for showers and thunderstorms that will return on Sunday will stick around on Monday and Tuesday in the Mid-Atlantic region.
