Discussion              

A cold front will pass through the region later today ushering in colder air for the end of the work week.  On Friday, strong low pressure will push towards the Great Lakes, grind to a halt, and transfer its energy to a secondary storm system off the northern Mid-Atlantic coastline. The result here from this pattern will be occasional rain from later tomorrow into early Saturday and it’ll get quite breezy as well. There is a chance that ice pellets mix in briefly at the onset on Friday and a thunderstorm is on the table for tomorrow night. High pressure returns to the region later in the weekend.
