Discussion
A stalled-out frontal system will lift north today and raise chances for isolated PM showers and thunderstorms. It’ll stay unsettled again on Friday with the front remaining in close proximity and there can be some heavy rainfall. This same front will meander in the Mid-Atlantic region all weekend long keeping it unsettled. Temperatures will edge downward on Friday with highs confined to the 80's and the 80's should rule right into the early part of next week. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Isaias will likely have a significant impact on the Bahamas and Florida this weekend and its moisture field could ride up along the east coast early next week.
