Discussion    

Rain is headed to the Mid-Atlantic region for the period from later tomorrow into early Friday as one low pressure system pushes to our northwest and a secondary forms off the coastline.  High pressure will remain in control here for today, but clouds will increase later tonight and rain is likely to develop during the PM hours on Wednesday.  Looking ahead, an impressive cold blast will arrive in the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend with highs on Sunday likely confined to 50 degrees or below and a chance to go below freezing on Sunday night.
