Discussion

A stalled-out frontal system along the east coast remains a conduit today for moisture to ride along from south-to-north resulting in occasional light rain or drizzle around here for much of the day. There can be a lingering shower or two this evening and then skies should partially clear in the overnight hours as drier air pushes into the Mid-Atlantic region on NW winds following the departure of low pressure to the western Atlantic. There will be some sunshine on Friday, but it’ll be cool and winds will be rather strong gusting to 40 mph or so from a northwesterly direction. A couple of disturbances can bring some shower activity to the region on Saturday and again Monday, but we may sneak in a pretty decent Easter Sunday with relatively mild conditions and some sunshine.
