Discussion              

Another wet and cool Saturday is on the way to the Mid-Atlantic region which continues a recent trend. Low pressure will push to the Ohio Valley by early tomorrow and then it will give way to a secondary storm system that is to form near the Mid-Atlantic coastline. As a result, occasional rain is likely here on Saturday and Saturday night and it will become unseasonably cool as well with a persistent onshore flow of air (E-NE winds)…a similar pattern to some prior weekends. The weather may not get much better on Sunday as the parent upper-level low will be a very slow mover. Consequently, showers will remain a threat early and temperatures should stay well below-normal on Sunday for the middle of October. In fact, it looks like the first half of next week will remain quite cool and unsettled with the continuing threat of showers underneath the very slow moving upper-level trough.
