Discussion
Strong high pressure has pushed offshore and a cold front is approaching the Mid-Atlantic region from our northwest and it’ll keep it unsettled around here today with additional showers and possible strong thunderstorms. With the added boost of tropical moisture, some of the rainfall today and tonight can be heavy at times. This same front will tend to stall out later tonight just to our south and it’ll battle with high pressure to our north over the next couple of days. A comfortable air mass will push into the Mid-Atlantic region for Friday and Saturday; however, a few showers cannot be ruled out with the stalled front in close proximity. The front lifts northward on Sunday as a warm front and it could generate showers and thunderstorms as we close out the upcoming weekend.
