Discussion
An energetic cold frontal system is working its way through the region this morning with residual showers and possible strong thunderstorms. Winds will pick up this afternoon as cooler, drier air arrives, but then another cold front will generate somewhat unsettled conditions on Saturday. As this next front arrives, the threat of showers will return as we begin the weekend and the winds on Saturday will become quite noticeable. A third cold front will arrive on Monday and bring with it the chance for some rain and/or snow shower activity. The passage of that third front will result in a reinforcing chilly air mass for the Mid-Atlantic region that will stick around into the mid-week.
