7:00 AM | **Rain returns to the region today and continues well into the day on Friday...yet another storm to impact the region this weekend with additional rainfall*

Paul Dorian

Our active weather pattern will persist as long as cold air outbreaks continue to drop into the central and eastern US from Canada and indications are that this flow will continue into at least early May. The next storm in a series of storms is going to impact the region from today into later Friday. There can be a couple of showers this morning and then periods of rain should form later in the afternoon. There can be some soaking rainfall in the overnight hours and into the day on Friday and, given the recent soaking rainfall, the chances for localized flooding will increase during this event. Yet another storm is likely to follow over the weekend with more rain from late Saturday into Sunday and this will be followed by yet another cold air outbreak during the early part of next week. Beyond that, you guessed it, another storm system may follow by late Tuesday and there can be more cold air behind that…and the same pattern just goes on and on and on.

7:00 AM | **Another chilly and windy day in the Mid-Atlantic...more rain on the way for later tomorrow into Friday as active pattern continues**

Paul Dorian

Our active weather pattern will likely persist as long as cold air outbreaks continue to drop into the central and eastern US from Canada. Indications are that this pattern is likely to continue into at least early May leading to multiple storms in coming days and the potential for new severe weather outbreaks in parts of the country. After a chilly and windy day on Wednesday, the next storm in a series of storms is likely to impact the Mid-Atlantic region from later tomorrow into Friday. Given the recent rainfall and the expectation of some soaking rain with this next system, the concern for localized flooding will probably rise in the Mid-Atlantic region on Thursday night and Friday. Yet another storm is likely to follow over the weekend with more rain in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor from later Saturday into Sunday. Following the weekend storm, yet another cold air outbreak is likely to reach the Mid-Atlantic region after dropping southeastward from Canada into the Great Lakes region and there is no sign of sustained warm weather through at least the beginning of May.

10:30 AM (Tues) | ***Strong thunderstorms possible mid-day/afternoon with gusty winds and hail the primary threats…very cold once again by late tonight with at or below freezing overnight lows***

Paul Dorian

A very active weather pattern continues for much of the nation aided by a continuing influx of cold air masses from Canada into the central and eastern US. A strong cold front at the leading edge of the next cold air outbreak will arrive this afternoon in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor and there can be strong thunderstorm activity with very gusty winds and hail the primary threats. Much colder air will push into the region in the overnight hours riding in on stiff NW winds and temperatures in many suburban locations by early tomorrow will once again be at or slightly below the freezing mark. Multiple chances of rain will follow in coming days and there will be additional cold air outbreaks for the central and eastern US - perhaps into the early part of May.

7:00 AM | ***A strong cold front brings showers to the region, strong-to-severe thunderstorm an afternoon threat...much colder air returns late tonight***

Paul Dorian

The overall active weather pattern will continue for at least another week or so with multiple chances of rain and there will be additional cold air outbreaks in the central and eastern US. A strong cold front will approach the region today causing shower activity and there can be a strong-to-severe thunderstorm with damaging winds and hail a threat. Following the passage of the cold front, much colder air will return late tonight on stiff NW winds and temperatures will once again drop way down into the low-to-mid 30’s for overnight lows which is way below-normal for this time of year. Another low pressure system is likely to impact the region with more rain later Thursday and Thursday night and yet another storm could follow over the upcoming weekend. The weekend storm will be followed by another cold air outbreak for the early part of next week.

7:00 AM | *The active weather pattern continues for the next week or so with multiple chances of rain*

Paul Dorian

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.

7:00 AM | *An unusually cold morning for mid-April...occasional rain tonight*

Paul Dorian

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.

7:00 AM | *Chilly, breezy today with flurries possible...more showers coming this way for late Friday afternoon/evening*

Paul Dorian

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.

7:00 AM | *Chilly pattern to continue following the passage of a reinforcing cold front in the overnight hours*

Paul Dorian

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.

7:00 AM | *Colder today following passage of strong cold front...rain late tonight/early Wednesday...can even be a few flakes mixing in at times well to the N/W*

Paul Dorian

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.

11:15 AM (Monday) | ****Potential for damaging wind gusts of 60+ mph during the mid-day and afternoon…continuing threat of severe thunderstorms with possible hail and even isolated tornadoes****

Paul Dorian

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.
