Discussion
A strong cold front will push through the region early today paving the way for breezy and cool conditions in the Mid-Atlantic and temperatures late tonight can drop to the lower 40’s in many suburban locations. High pressure will take control on Friday, but its impact will be rather short-lived and limited as an intensifying low pressure system heads to a position just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Saturday. The DC-to-PHL-to-NYC corridor will be on the northwest edge of the precipitation shield on Saturday, but some rain cannot be ruled out. Whether this area of rain makes it into the region, the weekend will turn out to be on the cool side of normal and the overall cooler weather pattern looks likely to continue well into the month of May.
