Discussion
A day after a stubborn upper-level low pressure system finally departed the Mid-Atlantic region, another one will begin to intensify overhead. At the same time, a cold front will slide slowly southeastward from the Great Lakes and surface low pressure is likely to form along this incoming frontal boundary zone. The end result here will be occasional showers and thunderstorms from later today into late Friday and some of the rain can be heavy at times.
The weather for the weekend and early part of next week is shaping up quite nicely with increasing amounts of sunshine expected on Saturday and mostly sunny skies likely on Sunday and Monday along with comfortably warm conditions. Beyond that, another unsettled weather period develops in the Mid-Atlantic region as as a Gulf system likely rides up along the Atlantic seaboard by later Tuesday and Wednesday.
