Discussion              

A frontal system 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 early Friday into early Saturday and the wind will increase noticeably as well. In addition, a thunderstorm is on the table for tomorrow night. High pressure returns to the region later in the weekend.
