Discussion              

The big weather story of the week in the Mid-Atlantic region will be the soaking rain event that takes place from later tomorrow into early Wednesday as strong low pressure pushes into the Great Lakes region. It has been very dry in recent weeks, but this system should produce an inch or more of rain throughout the area by early Wednesday morning. It appeared last week that there would be an influx of unseasonably cold air into the Mid-Atlantic region on the back side of this storm, but that no longer appears to be the case. Instead, Turkey Day should be dry and cool with only slightly below-normal temperatures for this time of year. The weather becomes unsettled again at week’s end and for the upcoming weekend and it looks like it will be on the chilly side. One final note and for the Eagles fans out there, it looks like miserable weather tonight for the rematch with the Chiefs in Kansas City…windy, cold, periods of rain.
