Discussion

The next few days will be quite unsettled around here with a frontal boundary zone in close proximity. This front will be the conduit for multiple disturbances to ride along producing rain from time-to-time through Friday. The front will likely slip to our south by tomorrow leading to a cool down here and it is not out of the question that some ice pellets and/or snow mix in with any rain that does fall on Thursday night and Friday. Looking ahead, there is a chance we’ll have to deal with yet another late weekend storm system in the Mid-Atlantic region, but its ultimate track and impact is still in question. It turns quite cold again following that system for the early part of next week.
