High pressure off the east coast continues to be the dominant player in the Mid-Atlantic region and it will produce dry weather here through Friday. Meanwhile, low pressure has formed in the northern Gulf of Mexico and its moisture field will push northeastward through the southeastern states by the weekend. In fact, this system looks like it will increase chances here for showers by Saturday and then a cold front moving this way from our west will likely generate additional showers from Sunday night into Monday. Cooler air will follow the cold frontal passage for the early part of next week.

High pressure off the east coast continues to be the dominant player in the Mid-Atlantic region and it will provide dry weather here right through the end of the work week.

The weather becomes more unsettled this weekend with the possible return of some shower activity and cooler air will move into the area early next week.

It continues to look like a quiet and dry week in the Mid-Atlantic region that will become increasingly warm. High pressure has shifted to a position off the east coast and southwesterly winds on its back side will pump in warmer air to the eastern states. Temperatures this afternoon will reach the middle-to-upper 70’s and then likely climb well up into the 80’s during the second half of the week. A cold front will bring some unsettled weather to the area this weekend with the return of a chance for showers.

It looks a relatively quiet and dry week in the Mid-Atlantic region that will become increasingly warm. High pressure shifts to a position off the coast over the next day or so and southwesterly winds on its back side will pump in warmer air to the eastern states. Temperatures this afternoon will reach the mid 60’s and are likely to climb to well up into the 80’s for the second half of the week.

Showers are likely today following the passage of the strong cold frontal system and it turns noticeably cooler than yesterday. In fact, temperatures should bottom out in the 30’s during each of the next few nights with this incoming chilly air mass. High pressure that originated in Canada will take control of the weather as we head into the weekend and there may still be plenty of clouds on Saturday, but more in the way of sunshine for Easter Sunday. Looking ahead, a pattern change will likely result in a warm air surge across the eastern states by the mid and latter parts of next week.

It’ll remain warm today ahead of an approaching cold front and the chance of showers will increase in the afternoon…maybe even a late day/early evening strong-to-severe thunderstorm. The best chance for a strong-to-severe thunderstorm will likely end up being from just to the south and east of DC to the Delmarva Peninsula. It’ll turn cooler on Friday following the passage of the cold frontal system with a chilly air mass moving into the northeastern states. High pressure with its origins in Canada will take control of the weather and there may be only limited sunshine on Saturday, but plenty on Sunday.

A line of thunderstorms extends this morning all the way from Texas to the central Great Lakes and tornado watches as issued by the National Weather Service encompass this entire zone. This severe weather outbreak represents just the latest in a series of recent “clashes” in the atmosphere between cold, dry air to the west charging into warm, humid air to the east. Strong surface low pressure over the northwestern Great Lakes is generating blizzard conditions across the Dakotas and a powerful surface cold front extends from the center all the way south into the northern Gulf region. This same cold front reaches the eastern seaboard later Thursday and while certainly not as widespread of a threat as today, there is the chance for some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity near the coast. Following the passage of the cold front, a chilly Canadian-borne air mass will push into the Great Lakes/Northeast/Mid-Atlantic for the upcoming Easter weekend.

It’ll remain quite warm today in the DC metro region, but there will be some cloudiness this morning and a late day shower cannot be ruled out. The weather becomes more unsettled on Thursday with the approach of a strong surface cold front edging this way from the Ohio Valley. It’ll remain warm tomorrow with a gusty SW wind and afternoon/evening showers are likely…maybe even a strong-to-severe thunderstorm. The best chance for a strong-to-severe thunderstorm later tomorrow will likely end up being just south and east of the DC metro region. It’ll turn cooler on Friday following the passage of the cold frontal system with a chilly air mass moving into the northeastern states. High pressure with its origins in Canada will take control of the weather and there should be some sunshine on both weekend days; however, it’ll feel quite cool in the shade and during nighttime hours.

Warmer air on the south side of a warm front will dominate the scene here today and on Wednesday as well and then a cold front will push towards the region from the Ohio Valley. Ahead of the front, the chance of showers will rise later tomorrow and tomorrow night and the passage of the system on Thursday may be accompanied by a strong to potentially severe thunderstorm. It’ll turn cooler on Friday following the passage of the frontal system with a chilly air mass moving into the northeastern states. High pressure with its origins in Canada will take control of the weather for the weekend and there should be some sunshine on both days; however, it’ll feel quite cool in the shade or during the nights.
