Discussion

A cold front crossed the region last night and has ushered in a chilly air mass that will stick around in the northeastern part of the country through the first half of the upcoming weekend. High pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region today from the Tennessee Valley and should result in dry conditions here into the weekend. On Saturday night and Sunday, a clipper-like low pressure system will pass by to our north and raise the chances of showers from late Saturday night into Sunday. Following the passage of a trailing cold front, another chilly air mass will push into the Mid-Atlantic region for the early part of next week.
