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 as an intensifying low pressure system heads to a position just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Saturday. The precipitation shield of the coastal low will come quite close to the DC-to-PHL-to-NYC corridor, but it still has a chance of missing just to the south and east. 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.
