Discussion
A heavy rain event is headed to the Mid-Atlantic region with as much as 3 or 4 inches on the table in some spots...
A cold front will stall-out in close proximity later today and low pressure will form along its boundary zone. As a result, showers and thunderstorms are likely to impact the region from later today into later Saturday...some of the rain will be heavy at times and some of the thunderstorms can be strong-to-severe with damaging wind gusts and possible hail. Another cold front will cross the region late tomorrow sweeping away the unsettled weather and it’ll turn drier on Sunday with plenty of sunshine to go along with windy and cooler-than-normal conditions for the first day of June. The first half of next week looks dry as well with increasingly warm conditions leading to high temperatures well up in the 80’s by mid-week.
