Discussion              

After back-to-back soaking rain events, the Mid-Atlantic region will experience quite cool and unsettled conditions for much of this week with a daily chance of showers. An upper-level low will spin around the northeastern states in coming days and cold air aloft will result in instability in the atmosphere leading to the daily chance of patchy clouds and showers. The air mass in the northeastern part of the country during the next few days will feature well below-normal temperatures for the early part of May. Winds will also be quite noticeable during each of the next few days with gusts to 30 mph possible.
