Discussion
A cool front will approach the area later today from our northwest and it is likely to generate isolated late day or evening showers and thunderstorms. The weekend is likely to turn out to be primarily rain-free following the late night/early morning passage of the cool frontal system. The early part of next week looks very unsettled as a potent system heads this way from the Midwest. This can spark some heavy shower and strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity in the Mid-Atlantic region from later Monday into Monday night.
