Discussion

Some of the lowest temperatures so far this fall season have greeted this early Wednesday morning with overnight lows along the Mid-Atlantic’s I-95 corridor ranging from the upper 20’s to lower 30’s. It stays quite cool today despite plenty of sunshine and then temperatures drop to cold levels again late tonight. On Thursday, a front and its associated weak low pressure system will approach from the west and it will produce some shower activity in the Mid-Atlantic region from later in the afternoon to early tomorrow night. The best chance of showers will come south of the PA/MD border in the region from DC-to-Delmarva Peninsula with nothing more than a shower or two likely across the Philly-to-New York City corridor. High pressure returns to the region for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday leading to a 3-day stretch of dry and cool weather conditions.
