Discussion

The rain-free weather that we’ve experienced during the past several days should come to an end later today with the arrival of a cold frontal system. Though the front is weakening as it heads towards the east coast, it should still be able to produce some shower and thunderstorm activity around here from late today into early Friday breaking our current dry spell. In fact, a few strong storms are possible which can contain brief downpours. A second cold front will arrive late Saturday and it too can produce some shower and thunderstorm activity in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. High pressure will return to the area for the Sunday and Monday time frame and another cool and dry air mass will spread here from the Great Lakes.
