Discussion
A strong frontal system will produce another round of showers and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region from Friday into Friday night and some of the storms can be on the strong-to-severe side with heavy downpours. The upper-level support for this system will be slow-moving and could result in some residual shower activity on Saturday as it drifts overhead and a thunderstorm is possible as well, but the day will not be a washout. This upper-level low will exit off the coast by Sunday resulting in improvement and then the weather on Monday, Memorial Day, should feature plenty of sunshine and highs well up in the 80’s.
