Discussion

A strong cold front will head this way today from the Ohio Valley and it’ll help to spawn the formation of low pressure near the Mid-Atlantic coastline by later tonight. The combination of the low pressure system and cold front will bring rain to the region from late today into tonight and winds will kick up as well. In fact, those winds can gust to 40 mph or so by late tonight and through the day on Friday which will be a cooler day compared to today. A weak front can bring some clouds to the area on Saturday and perhaps a shower or two, and then it turns cooler on its heels to close out the upcoming weekend. Another cold frontal system can bring more rain to the area by the early part of next week.
