Discussion
A strong cold front will sweep across the Mid-Atlantic region later today and its arrival could result in strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity. Ingredients are coming together for this potential PM severe weather including high humidity levels, a vigorous wave aloft, and the strong surface cold front. Following the passage of the front, it’ll turn cooler late tonight and the next couple of days will be quite comfortable with lower humidity and plenty of sunshine on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
