Discussion

After a couple more quiet, dry weather days, major changes are coming to the Mid-Atlantic region for the late week and weekend. A significant upper-level trough will evolve over the eastern states by week’s end and it will likely feature an initial surface low that tracks over the Ohio Valley and then a secondary somewhere near the Mid-Atlantic coastline. An increasingly colder air mass will mix into this system with rain around here from Thursday into Friday and there can be some snow in the interior higher elevations of the Appalachians. The weekend is shaping up to be windy and cold with temperatures well below normal for this time of year.
