Discussion

The main weather event of the next few days in the Mid-Atlantic region will be a cold frontal passage that takes places from later tomorrow night into the day on Wednesday. This front should be accompanied by showers and isolated thunderstorms that’ll break the dry spell of recent days. After a warm start to the work week with above-normal temperatures, cooler-than-normal conditions are likely during the second half. Low pressure off the eastern seaboard may become the main player to watch this weekend with the possibility of some rainfall around here by the time we get to Sunday and Monday.
