High pressure will remain in control in the Mid-Atlantic region through the day on Friday and it’ll become noticeably warmer. Temperatures today should climb to well up in the 80’s and a flirtation with the 90 degree mark on Friday is on the table…perhaps even a record-breaker. The main system of interest this weekend will be a strong cold front that’ll edge its way through the Ohio Valley on Saturday and then likely generate some soaking rainfall around here later Saturday into Saturday night…maybe even a strong-to-severe thunderstorm. It’ll turn cooler on Sunday following the front and then a secondary cold front will usher even cooler air for Monday.

The Phillies are scheduled to play the White Sox tonight in Chicago, but the day has started there with snow, temperatures near freezing and wind chills in the teens. In fact, snow is falling today across much of the Upper Midwest from Minnesota-to-Michigan on the north side to Illinois and Indiana to the south. Unfortunately, for those waiting on spring, it appears there will be additional cold air outbreaks across the northern US during the next couple of weeks and this will continue the threat of accumulating snow in many sections from the Rocky Mountain States to the interior Northeast US. The next cold air outbreak will arrive in the nation’s midsection by the upcoming weekend and the cold front at its leading edge could generate heavy rainfall in the eastern US from late Saturday into Sunday.

A strong cold front will push its way off the coast today and it turns cooler and breezy in the Mid-Atlantic region on the heels of the frontal passage. High pressure builds into the area and should generate generally dry conditions around here for the next few days. As the high pushes to our east later this week, temperatures will rebound noticeably likely to climb well up into the 80’s on Thursday and Friday. Another cold frontal system will impact the weather here this weekend with showers likely surrounding its passage through the Mid-Atlantic region.

Our dry weather pattern of recent days will come to an end this weekend with two systems bringing us a chance of showers and thunderstorms. From later tonight into Saturday, moisture associated with a low pressure system that formed yesterday over the northern Gulf of Mexico will push northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic region. While not a total washout, showers can pop up at just about any time on Saturday and there can be a thunderstorm or two along with somewhat cooler conditions. The next system of note will be a cold front to our west that will push through the region from late Sunday into Monday and this too can bring us some shower and thunderstorm activity. It turns cooler early next week following the passage of the cold front.

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.
