Discussion

A cold front will cross the region on Tuesday and it is likely to bring some rain to the area from late tonight into early tomorrow. After the frontal passage, it’ll be chilly on Wednesday with partly sunny skies and then attention turns to a low pressure system that will approach the region from the southwest. This system will likely push rain into the area from late Wednesday night into Thursday morning and then it should turn out to chilly and breezy on Friday with clearing skies. The weekend looks windy and cold in the Mid-Atlantic region and the colder-than-normal pattern that sets up this weekend is likely to last through at least the first full week of December.
