Discussion              

High pressure will remain in control in the Mid-Atlantic region through the day on Friday and it’ll become warmer. Temperatures today should climb to well up in the 70’s and the low-to-mid 80’s are possible on Friday. The main system of interest this weekend will be a strong cold front that’ll edge its way through the Ohio Valley on Saturday and then likely generate some soaking rainfall around here later Saturday into Saturday night…maybe even a strong-to-severe thunderstorm. It’ll turn cooler on Sunday following the front and then a secondary cold front will usher even cooler air for Monday.
