Discussion
An active weather pattern is setting up over the continental US featuring a deepening upper-level trough over the Tennessee Valley. This deepening low in the upper atmosphere will help to spawn a strong low pressure system at the surface-level which will then move in a northeasterly direction resulting in a soaking event for much of the Mid-Atlantic region from later today into Thursday evening…1-3 inches on the table. The rain may linger for a bit on Friday morning in the northern Mid-Atlantic region, but the bulk of the day on Friday (Halloween Day) should feature cool and very windy conditions with gusts possible to 40 mph or so to go along with partly sunny skies. The weekend is looking dry and cool with sunshine on both days and highs likely in the mid-to-upper 50’s.
