Discussion

A cold front will arrive later today and present us with the best chance of showers and thunderstorms this week. In fact, some of the late day and evening storms in the Mid-Atlantic region can be severe with brief heavy downpours possible and even isolated tornadoes. Given the well-saturated grounds, any heavy rainfall later today can result in localized flash flooding. Following the passage of the front, the latter part of the week will feature comfortable weather conditions to go along with plenty of sunshine. The nice weather pattern will continue into the upcoming weekend and temperatures will warm a bit, but remain pretty comfortable for this time of year.
