Discussion              

Low pressure that has been spinning for days just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline will finally be “kicked” out to sea later today with the approach of an upper-level trough from south-central Canada. As a result, the weather will improve noticeably on Thursday and the nicer weather will hold out on Friday as well despite the arrival of a strong cold frontal system.  The passage of this next cold front will usher into the Mid-Atlantic region the next in a what will be a series of chilly air masses destined to come this way in coming days and weeks.
