Discussion              

A cool front will approach the region later today and it is a system that will be slowing down as it reaches the eastern seaboard.  As a result, low pressure is likely to form later tomorrow along the stalling-out frontal boundary zone near the east coast.  Showers are possible later today and tonight associated with the arrival of the frontal system and then more rain is likely later tomorrow and tomorrow night linked with the low pressure.  Some of the rain later tomorrow and tomorrow night can be heavy at times. High pressure builds into the region for the latter part of the work week, but the early part of the weekend could feature another low pressure system in the Mid-Atlantic region. As a result, Saturday could actually turn out to be a rather cool and rainy day for this time of year with some improvement possible on Sunday, but still cooler-than-normal temperatures.
