Discussion
A weak frontal system has stalled out nearby and it’ll keep us unsettled for the next few days as it meanders around the Mid-Atlantic region. This front will push north on Friday as a warm front and then a strong cool front will arrive in the region by Saturday night. As a result, showers and thunderstorms will be likely today and tonight and perhaps even more numerous on Friday and Saturday and severe thunderstorm activity will be a threat late Saturday and Saturday night. Following the frontal passage, it’ll turn less humid on Sunday and slightly cooler and relatively comfortable weather will begin the new work week on Monday and Tuesday.
