Discussion

High pressure will control the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region for another day providing us with plenty of sunshine and a very mild afternoon. A strong cold front pushes into the area on Thursday and low pressure will form along the Mid-Atlantic coastline. As a result, a decent rainfall is likely here from later tomorrow into tomorrow night with 0.5” to 1.0” on the table. Colder air will follow the frontal passage to close out the work week with very windy conditions featuring gusts to 50 mph or so.
