Discussion
The weather pattern will remain quite unsettled across much of the nation in coming days and there will be additional rainfall here in the Mid-Atlantic region on at least a couple of occasions. Today will be generally on the cloudy side and there can be a bit of light rain or drizzle at times and then the next system to impact us will bring more numerous showers here from tonight into Wednesday and there can be a thunderstorm or two mixed in as well. A pretty decent day is likely on Thursday before the next system arrives which appears destined to produce more rain here from Friday into Saturday. After that, low pressure is likely to stall just off the east coast at the same time strong high pressure builds to our northeast. It is still a bit too early to determine which of these two systems will win the battle and take control of the weather for the second half of the upcoming weekend.
