Discussion
Not the best of timing, but a well-needed and soaking rainfall is on the way for the Mid-Atlantic region as we begin what will be a very cool Memorial Day weekend with temperatures as much as twenty degrees below-normal. Low pressure will move from the Midwest on Friday to the coastal waters of the Mid-Atlantic by later tomorrow and it’ll combine with high pressure to the north to generate a chilly rainfall over a widespread area. It'll remain very cool and unsettled on Sunday with a few lingering showers possible and then increasing amounts of sunshine and noticeably milder conditions are likely on Monday, Memorial Day...very likely to be the best weather day of this long holiday weekend.
