Discussion
Low pressure will pull out of the southern states today and intensify as it heads to a position just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by early tomorrow. There can be occasional light rain around here later today and steadier and heavier rain from tonight into Saturday. There is a chance that it gets cold enough later tomorrow in the northern and western suburbs for the rain to mix with or change to sleet and/or snow as the storm intensifies off the Mid-Atlantic coastline and pushes to the northeast. Cold and dry weather should follow the storm around here to close out the weekend and then we'll have to watch another system on Monday that will be pushing out of the Gulf of Mexico and towards the east coast.
