High pressure will remain near the Mid-Atlantic region for much of the week and will be the main player. There will be a couple of weak troughs of low pressure to deal with over the next few days and perhaps a stronger back door cool front this weekend. In the temperature department, the second half of the work week should feature the warmest weather we’ve seen this season with afternoon highs approaching the 90 degree mark.

High pressure will remain near the Mid-Atlantic region for much of the week and will be the main player. There will be a frontal system around the area later today that could touch off an isolated shower and we’ll have to watch for a possible back door cool front late in the week or during the upcoming weekend. In the temperature department, the second half of the week should feature the warmest weather we’ve seen this season with afternoon highs near the 90 degree mark.

High pressure over the Midwest will remain in control of our weather today and through the upcoming weekend; however, showers and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. Temperatures will edge higher over the next couple of days into the lower 70’s this afternoon and to the middle 70’s on Saturday afternoon. Weak low pressure and its associated frontal system could produce some shower activity in the region on Sunday and Monday and an isolated thunderstorm cannot be ruled out as well.

High pressure over the Midwest will remain in control of our weather today and likely right through the upcoming weekend although a shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out on either day. Temperatures will edge higher over the next few days coming close to 70 degrees later today and then into the 70’s on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Weak low pressure and its associated frontal system could produce some shower activity in the region during the early part of next week.

High pressure has built into the Mid-Atlantic region and it stays in control for the next few days and, at this point, the weekend is looking quite promising. Temperatures will still be on the cool side for the next couple of days and nights with highs in the 60’s and overnight lows in the 40’s, but by Friday afternoon, we ought to be at or slightly above the 70 degree mark. The weekend is looking quite promising with some sunshine likely on both days and comfortable temperatures throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

Low pressure pulled away from the region on Monday and now high pressure is building into the region and it’ll be the main player around here for the next few days. Temperatures will remain cooler-than-normal for the next few days with highs generally in the 60's and lows in the 40's. By the end of the work week, afternoon highs should flirt with the 70 degree mark and the weekend is looking quite promising from this vantage point.

Our recent cool and unsettled weather pattern will continue as we begin the new work week with a cold frontal passage, plenty of clouds and maybe a shower or two. Strong high pressure will follow the frontal passage for Tuesday and Wednesday, but it’ll stay cooler-than-normal for this time of year. It should turn somewhat milder by the end of the week with temperatures getting closer to normal for the middle of May.

An upper-level low pressure system will move over the northeastern quadrant of the nation today and keep it unsettled around here for the next couple of days. This system will result in unstable conditions in the atmosphere with unusually chilly air aloft for the early part of May. Any kind of early day low-level heating today and tomorrow will act to destabilize the atmosphere and the result is likely to be scattered afternoon showers on both days. There can even be a thunderstorm on Saturday afternoon and with the freezing level at such an unusually low level, small hail will be possible. Another low pressure system will head northeast on Sunday and is likely to bring us thickening clouds and more rain to the area later in the day and on Sunday night. The cool and unsettled weather pattern that is unfolding will likely last for the next ten days or so across much of the northern US.

The overall weather pattern that is unfolding is going to disappoint those in the eastern 2/3rds of the nation who are looking for sustained warmth as we progress through the month of May. In fact, signs point to a continuation of colder-than-normal outbreak into this large stretch of the nation well into the second half of May. In some cases, these cold air outbreaks will result in low temperatures near or below freezing which is a threat to growers from the Rockies-to-Northern Plains-to-Upper Midwest and in some cases this pattern will result in significant accumulating snow (e.g., higher elevations in the Rockies).

Our unsettled weather pattern will take a break today as high pressure takes control, but it will be breezy and on the cool side. An upper-level wave of energy will spin over the northeastern quadrant of the nation on Friday and this will result in unstable conditions with unusually chilly air aloft for the early part of May. Any kind of low-level daytime heating early in the day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday will act to destabilize the atmosphere and the result is likely to be scattered mid-day and PM showers. Looking ahead, this unfolding cool and unsettled weather pattern will likely last for the next ten days or so across much of the northern US.
