Discussion

It’ll turn warmer today following the unseasonably cool weather conditions on Wednesday and this afternoon’s high temperatures should end up in the mid-to-upper 70’s. Skies will be mainly cloudy early this morning and then partly sunny for the mid-day and afternoon hours. A cold front will cross the region tonight with a few showers possible and then it’ll stall nearby on Friday. Low pressure will then ride up along the stalled-out frontal boundary zone bringing with it more rain and possible thunderstorms to the Mid-Atlantic region from later Friday into Saturday….some of the rain can be heavy and some of the storms can be strong. Another cold front arrives late Saturday sweeping the unsettled pattern away and the overall pattern turns drier and increasingly warm during the early part of next week (which is the beginning of the month of June).
