Discussion
The next couple of days will be remain quite unsettled around here with a frontal boundary zone in close proximity. Today will feature plenty of clouds, some light rain or drizzle is possible during the morning and mid-day hours, and then steadier rain should develop later in the afternoon. There will be periods of rain tonight and through the mid-day hours on Friday as low pressure rides along the frontal boundary zone. The weekend will begin with some clearing on Saturday and then all eyes will focus on a storm system nearing the Carolina coastline. This storm is likely to intensify significantly as it pushes over the western Atlantic and can throw some rain and accumulating snow back inland to the I-95 corridor. Highest impacts from the late weekend storm system may take place along coastal sections from NJ to the Delmarva Peninsula to eastern VA…stay tuned.
