Discussion

Tropical Storm Elsa is situated near the coast of New Jersey this morning and continues to accelerate to the northeast. Heavy rain pushing through upstate New Jersey and the NYC metro region will wind down later this morning, but an advancing cold front will bring scattered afternoon thunderstorms to much of the Mid-Atlantic region. The weekend begins with a comfortably warm and likely rain-free day, but a stalling frontal system will bring an unsettled weather pattern here for the first half of next week.
