Discussion
An active weather pattern continues across much of the nation and this will lead to more chances of rain in the Mid-Atlantic region and also quite a topsy-turvy temperature pattern. A weak cold front will cross the region later today and then high pressure will dominate the scene tonight and on Wednesday. Low pressure and its attendant warm front will then influence us with rain on Wednesday night and Thursday morning and some of it can be heavy at times. A strong cold front is likely to arrive here by late Friday with additional showers, maybe even a thunderstorm. It’ll turn much milder on Thursday and then very warm on Friday ahead of the strong cold front, but its passage will pave the way for a colder weekend as strong, cold high pressure expands eastward across the northern US and southern Canada.
