Discussion              

A very unsettled weather pattern will continue today in the Mid-Atlantic region as low pressure from the Great Lakes edges to the south and east along with a slow-moving cool frontal system. As a result, more showers and thunderstorms are likely from later today into tonight. Some of the storms can reach strong-to-severe levels and some of the rain can be heavy.  Weak high pressure will attempt to improve conditions later Wednesday and Thursday limiting the chance of rain; however, the overall unsettled weather pattern will stay intact through the upcoming weekend with a renewed chance of showers and storms on Friday, Saturday and Sunday as a frontal system stalls in the area.
