The overall active weather pattern will continue with multiple chances of rain over the next week or so and there will be a continuation of cold air outbreaks for the central and eastern US. Low pressure will push away from the Mid-Atlantic coastline today – perhaps causing a lingering shower or two - and then a cold front will approach the area on Tuesday. This next cold front will bring showers to the area on Tuesday and then another chilly air mass for this time of year will arrive tomorrow night. Another low pressure system is likely to impact the region with more rain on Thursday night and Friday and yet another storm could follow late in the upcoming weekend.

After an unusually cold morning for the middle of April clouds will increase ahead of a frontal system that will bring us occasional rain tonight into early Saturday. High pressure will return later tomorrow and dominate the weather until late in the weekend. Late Sunday into Monday, low pressure will head towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline and it could brush us some rain on Sunday night and early Monday…a close call. Another cold front should sweep through the region on Tuesday with more shower activity possible.

The passage of an overnight cold front will keep us well below-normal today in terms of temperatures despite some sunshine. After another chilly night with some late night patchy frost possible, low pressure will head our way from the Ohio Valley on Friday and result in occasional rain showers from later tomorrow into early Saturday. High pressure will then build into the region later this weekend and it should result in improving weather conditions following the damp start.

Low pressure will push away from the area this morning and it’ll remain quite chilly for the middle of April despite some sunshine. A reinforcing cold front will arrive in the overnight hours and temperatures will drop into the 30’s late tonight and again late tomorrow night and frost is possible as well in some of the outlying locations. Another low pressure system will head in a west-to-east fashion on Friday and it’ll likely produce another round of rain showers in the region during the afternoon and evening hours. Additional cold air outbreaks will drop into the central and eastern US as we progress through the second half of April.

Following the passage of yesterday’s strong cold front, colder air moved into the region in the overnight hours. The cold front has stalled out along the east coast and low pressure will form later today along the frontal boundary zone. The low will ride up to the northeast and generate some rain in the area from late tonight into Wednesday. It can be just cold enough in some areas for wet snow to mix in at times; especially, in the higher elevation locations well to the north and west of I-95. The colder-than-normal weather for mid-April will stick around through the remainder of the week and there will be additional cold air outbreaks as we progress through the second half of April.

The late night and morning hours featured some steady and heavy rainfall rain in the I-95 corridor and it has resulted in localized flash flooding conditions along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. The overall precipitation pattern will become more variable for the next several hours with multiple bands and the continued threat for downpours, but also the chance for a “break in the action” at times. As a strong cold front presses to the east across the eastern Ohio Valley, thunderstorms are breaking out to our west. Some of these storms can reach severe levels by the time they reach the I-95 corridor with hail a possibility to go along with heavy rainfall and damaging winds and there is even the chance for isolated tornadoes.

Wild weather is in store for the region today as a powerful cold front advances towards the east coast trailing a deep and intensifying low pressure system now over the Great Lakes. There will be occasional showers and thunderstorms and some of the rain will be heavy at times…watch out for localized flooding. There is the chance that some of the thunderstorms reach severe levels later today with hail a possibility and even isolated tornadoes. It’ll be very windy throughout the day with the potential for damaging wind gusts of 60+ mph and these winds can occur with or without the development of severe thunderstorms. Watch out for downed tree limbs and unfortunately, there is the chance for power outages. Much colder air moves in overnight and then a weaker low pressure system could produce some precipitation tomorrow night into Wednesday – perhaps even cold enough for some wet snow to be mixed in.

A major storm will impact a large part of the nation from today into Monday with a wide-ranging set of conditions from accumulating snows in its cold sector to heavy rain and severe weather in areas to the east and south of the storm track. Low pressure will consolidate over the central Plains today and then intensify significantly as it pushes northeastward through the Great Lakes region early Monday and then to the Hudson Bay, Canada region by Monday night. Accumulating snows are likely from this storm from the Rockies to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where a foot or more can fall. The threat for severe weather will be widespread from today into tonight in the region extending from Texas/Louisiana to the Carolinas and as far north as the Ohio Valley as ingredients come together to destabilize the atmosphere. A significant rain and extreme wind event is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday with heavy rain, damaging wind gusts of 60+ mph, and perhaps severe thunderstorm activity with hail and isolated tornadoes. All of this will be followed by a cold blast of air for mid-April that will arrive in the eastern US on Tuesday and a weaker low pressure system could produce more precipitation from Tuesday night into Wednesday - and it could even be cold enough for wet snow in some areas.

A major storm will impact a large part of the nation from tomorrow into Monday with a wide-ranging set of conditions from accumulating snows in its cold sector to heavy rain and severe weather in areas to the east and south of the storm track. Low pressure will consolidate over the Mississippi Valley on Sunday morning and then intensify significantly as it pushes northeastward into the Great Lakes region by Monday morning. Accumulating snows are likely from this storm from the Rockies to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where a foot or more can fall. The threat for severe weather will be widespread from Sunday into Sunday night in the region extending from Texas/Louisiana to the Carolinas as ingredients come together to destabilize the atmosphere. A significant rain and extreme wind event is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region from Sunday night into Monday and it can include damaging wind gusts of up to 60 mph and perhaps severe thunderstorm activity. All of this will be followed by a cold blast of air for mid-April that will arrive in the eastern US on Tuesday and another low pressure system could even produce some in parts of the Mid-Atlantic by Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Winds will stay quite strong today on the back side of yesterday’s strong cold frontal passage with gusts to 50 mph. It’ll be quite cold tonight and late night lows won’t be far from the freezing mark in many spots. After a quieter day on Saturday, a major storm will take shape over the middle of the nation on Sunday. This system will head towards the Great Lakes while a secondary low forms in the eastern US. The impact of this storm will be wide-ranging in the eastern half of the nation from Sunday into Monday including accumulating snow in the Upper Midwest to heavy rain in the Mid-Atlantic region to a possible widespread severe weather outbreak across the southern US. Another cold air outbreak arrives in the eastern US by next Tuesday and a rather sustained period of colder-than-normal weather can be expected through the remainder of April.
