Discussion              

Our terrific fall weather will continue around here for the next couple of days, but, unfortunately, it turns wet and chilly this weekend which continues a recent trend in the Mid-Atlantic region. Low pressure will push to the Ohio Valley by the early part of the weekend and then a secondary system will form near the Mid-Atlantic coastline. As a result, rain is likely here on Saturday and it’ll be quite cool as well with an onshore (NE winds) flow of air. The weather does not get much better on Sunday as the upper-level low will be a slow mover. Consequently, showers will remain a threat here on Sunday and temperatures should stay well below-normal for the middle of October. Looking ahead, the slow-moving upper-level trough system in the eastern states will likely result in more cooler-than-normal and unsettled weather on Monday and Tuesday with a continuing chance of showers.
