Discussion
A cold frontal system will become nearly stationary today along the eastern seaboard and low pressure will form along the boundary zone. This low pressure will head north along the coast and the result here will be an increasing chance of rain today and more rain is likely from tonight into early afternoon on Thursday. On the heels of the low pressure system, winds will pick up on Friday and another chilly air mass will push into the Mid-Atlantic region. A couple of disturbances can bring some shower activity to the Mid-Atlantic region on Saturday and Monday, but we may sneak in a pretty decent Easter Sunday with relatively mild conditions.
