Discussion
A strong cold front will head in this direction later today and it is going to generate numerous afternoon and evening showers and maybe a thunderstorm or two. The threat of rain and thunderstorms will continue on Friday, some of the rain will be heavy at times next 36 hours, and any thunderstorm can generate small hail. It’ll turn noticeably cooler later tomorrow night following the passage of the cold front and the weekend will start off on the cool, windy side as high pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region. It turns somewhat warmer early next week with 70+ degrees possible for highs on Sunday and Monday.
