Discussion
A warm front lifted through the region on Wednesday and now attention turns to an incoming strong cold front to our northwest that will push through by early Friday. Today will turn out to be quite warm ahead of this frontal system and there is an enhanced chance of PM showers and thunderstorms. Any storm that forms later today or early tonight can be on the strong-to-severe side with damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall. Following the frontal passage early tomorrow, high pressure will build into the Mid-Atlantic region and we’ll experience a stretch of nice weather from tomorrow into early next week.
