Discussion

A cold front will approach the area later today and push through from Friday into early Saturday. As a result, showers and thunderstorms are likely; especially, during the afternoon and evening hours. Some of the rain can be heavy today and localized flash flooding is a possibility. While a shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out this weekend, it’ll tend to become drier in the Mid-Atlantic region following the passage of the frontal system.
