Discussion
Low pressure is likely to form near the Carolina coast on Friday night and then intensify as it moves to the northeast on Saturday. Some precipitation is likely to reach back into the I-95 corridor on Saturday as the low moves to a position well off the Mid-Atlantic coastline. With temperatures only moderately cold around here, odds favor mainly rain during the daytime hours on Saturday. On Saturday night, a northern stream wave of energy will move overhead and it can cause some rain or snow shower activity as temperatures aloft will drop some. After a chilly day on Sunday, it’ll turn noticeably warmer next week for a few days before some colder air makes a return after mid-week.
