Overall weather conditions improved markedly on Monday in the Mid-Atlantic region and it should stay quite nice through at least the day on Thursday with plenty of sunshine each day and comfortable temperatures. High pressure stationed to our northeast will remain in control for the next few days, but it will also act to push an oceanic low pressure system back to the east coast later in the week. This is the same storm system that dampened much of the weekend in the Mid-Atlantic as it interacts with a northern stream wave of energy, its moisture could push northward along the eastern seaboard by the early part of the weekend. The result is likely to be an increasing threat of showers by the time we get to Friday night and Saturday although temperatures should remain on the warm side.

After a miserable last few days of chilly, windy and damp weather, conditions will improve markedly today, and the bulk of the week looks to be pretty decent. High pressure to our north will produce some sunshine here today and it’ll turn milder with afternoon highs in the 60’s. Stalled-out low pressure over the western Atlantic Ocean will be forced back to the west later this week and its moisture field could impact our weather by the early part of the upcoming weekend.

A soaking rain event is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region for today, tonight, and tomorrow and it’ll become quite cool and windy as well. Intensifying low pressure will cross over the Ohio Valley later today and then as it reaches the east coast, it will begin to become influenced by building high pressure over southeastern Canada. As such, the low pressure will slow down in its advance to the east and ultimately will stall-out over the western Atlantic Ocean. The “blocking” type upper air weather pattern that sets up could prolong the chilly, damp weather in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region on early Sunday, Mother’s Day; especially, along coastal sections.

A soaking rain event is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region for Friday and Saturday and it’ll become quite cool and windy as well. Intensifying low pressure will cross over the Ohio Valley on Friday and then as it arrives the eastern US, it will begin to become influenced by building high pressure over southeastern Canada. As such, the low pressure will slow down in its advance to the east and ultimately will stall-out over the western Atlantic. The “blocking” type pattern that sets up in the upper atmosphere could prolong the chilly, damp weather into Sunday, Mother’s Day; especially, along coastal sections of the Mid-Atlantic. Later next week, the strong block will likely result in a retrogression of the stalled-out low pressure system and it likely moves from east-to-west and back to the east coast perhaps classified as a “sub-tropical” system.

A soaking rain event is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region for Friday and Saturday. High pressure will move back into the region today, but its stay will be rather short-lived. Another low pressure system will head across the Ohio Valley on Friday and bring us rain here from tomorrow into Saturday and it’ll turn cooler and as well. Some of the rain during this event can fall heavily at times and winds will get quite gusty on Friday night and Saturday. After that, this same low pressure system will stall just off the east coast at the same time strong high pressure builds to our northeast over southeastern Canada. There will be a battle on Sunday, Mother’s Day, between the nearby low and high pressure systems with cool, breezy conditions quite likely as well as the chance for showers; especially, in eastern sections of the Mid-Atlantic region.

An active weather pattern continues across the nation and the overall situation in the upper part of the atmosphere will take on a different twist later this weekend and next week. One of the reasons this pattern has been so active has been an on-going onslaught of colder-than-normal air masses from Canada into the US which adds to the possibility of severe weather outbreaks. One area of concern later today and tonight for the possibility of severe weather is the southern Plains with a focus of attention on Oklahoma and northern Texas. This “enhanced” severe weather threat will shift slightly to the east on Thursday. Looking ahead, very strong high pressure ridging will develop over southeastern Canada later this weekend and into next week and this setup could actually help to push an offshore stalled-out low pressure system back towards the west and to the east coast sometime later next week.

Low pressure will keep it unsettled around here today with occasional showers and there can be a thunderstorm mixed in as well. High pressure will briefly move back into the region on Thursday, but another low pressure system will bring rain here from Friday into Saturday and it’ll turn cooler as well. After that, low pressure is likely to stall just off the east coast at the same time strong high pressure builds to our northeast. It is still a bit too early to be certain, but it looks like the high pressure system will be in control of the weather around here on Sunday providing us with cool, breezy, and likely mainly dry conditions for Mother’s Day. Looking ahead, that same high pressure system to our northeast could help to steer the stalled-out low pressure back towards the east coast sometime later next week.

The weather pattern will remain quite unsettled across much of the nation in coming days and there will be additional rainfall here in the Mid-Atlantic region on at least a couple of occasions. Today will be generally on the cloudy side and there can be a bit of light rain or drizzle at times and then the next system to impact us will bring more numerous showers here from tonight into Wednesday and there can be a thunderstorm or two mixed in as well. A pretty decent day is likely on Thursday before the next system arrives which appears destined to produce more rain here from Friday into Saturday. After that, low pressure is likely to stall just off the east coast at the same time strong high pressure builds to our northeast. It is still a bit too early to determine which of these two systems will win the battle and take control of the weather for the second half of the upcoming weekend.

An unsettled week of weather is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region with multiple systems and chances of showers. Today will start off with clouds, but they’ll give way to sunshine and it’ll turn out to be quite a nice afternoon. It’ll start out on the dry side tomorrow, but the next system will bring us a good chance of additional showers from Tuesday night into Wednesday and perhaps a thunderstorm or two. Yet another threatens to bring us more rain by the end of the work week. The weekend likely starts off unsettled, but there is a chance that Sunday, Mother’s Day, turns out to be rather nice.

A chilly air mass continues to reside in the northeastern part of the nation anchored by high pressure to our northwest and low pressure to our northeast. It turns slightly milder for the weekend, and it should stay rain-free on Saturday, but showers are likely on Sunday from an approaching frontal system. In fact, the weather remains unsettled here for much of next week with multiple systems crossing the country in a west-to-east fashion. In addition, another cold air mass is destined to arrive here at the end of next week in a continuation of a weather pattern that has resulted in numerous cold air outbreaks in recent weeks.
