Discussion              

Low pressure will pull away from the region this morning, but the day will still feature plenty of clouds, cool conditions and an isolated shower or two.  In fact, it stays on the cool side of normal for the next few days with an easterly flow of air putting a cap on temperatures in the Mid-Atlantic region.  It does turn warmer on Friday ahead of the next cold front which could bring with it another round of showers and strong thunderstorms at the end of the work week.  There is a chance that the late week frontal passage paves the way for the bulk of the Memorial Day weekend to feature decent weather, but still a few questions have to be ironed out.
