Discussion
Low pressure will form later today along a stalled-out frontal boundary zone near the east coast enhancing the chances here for showers and thunderstorms from later tonight into early Thursday. Some of the overnight rain can be heavy at times and some of the storms can be strong-to-severe. High pressure builds into the region later tomorrow and the work week will close out on a positive note with plenty of sunshine on Friday and comfortably warm conditions. Low pressure will form near the east coast on Saturday and the first half of the weekend could turn out to be unusually cool for this time of year and wet with occasional showers likely in the Mid-Atlantic region. It’ll stay unsettled on Sunday given the chilly air aloft with the continuation of below-normal temperatures and the threat of showers.
