Discussion
A cool frontal system will approach the region later today and will combine with upper-level energy to produce more showers for the Mid-Atlantic region and possible strong thunderstorms. Any shower or storm today and tonight can result in additional heavy rainfall. The front stalls along the I-95 corridor region on Friday and there will still be the chance for a few showers and thunderstorms. Slightly drier air will arrive for the weekend and the rain chances on both Saturday and Sunday will be quite limited. As high pressure pushes off the east coast early next week into the familiar “Bermuda-high” position, the heat and humidity is likely to build up again in the Mid-Atlantic region with the development of low-level southwesterly winds on the backside of the high.
