Discussion

Low pressure is intensifying near the Mid-Atlantic coastline this morning and it will keep it breezy and quite cool around here through tonight with periods of rain. This system will push away on Thursday, but a cold front will approach and then stall in the area for the late week. There can be a few showers from Thursday into Friday and then a period of steadier (and more beneficial) rain is likely from later Friday into early Saturday as low pressure forms along the stalling-out frontal boundary zone. Temperatures will be well below-normal today with an ocean flow of air and will remain slightly below-normal right into the weekend. The pattern looks like it’ll turn warmer and drier as we transition to the beginning of June on Sunday and into early next week.
