The second half of the week and upcoming weekend will be noticeably warmer than the unseasonably chilly conditions of the past few days. As a result of sunshine today, temperatures will respond nicely and jump to the 70 degree mark for highs this afternoon. A frontal system will arrive late tonight and it may be accompanied by some shower activity and then another frontal system on Friday could result in a few showers and maybe a thunderstorm. Warm weather is likely this weekend with highs generally near the 70 degree mark on each day.

The steady rain is over, but it’ll remain unsettled today as upper-level low pressure only grudgingly pulls away from the area. As a result, there will be lots of clouds around and a few showers are likely mainly in the afternoon hours. High pressure will build into the area tonight and Wednesday promises to be a milder day with some sunshine. Another frontal system will come our way tomorrow night and it can be accompanied by a few showers and another front may result in the same on Friday. Warmer weather is likely this weekend with a run into the middle 70’s possible by Sunday afternoon.

Our extended soaking rain event that began this weekend is not through with us yet as today will feature periods of rain as low pressure intensifies off the Mid-Atlantic coastline. Some of the rain can be heavy at times and it’ll remain unusually chilly for mid-May as temperatures struggle escape the 40’s. The threat of showers will continue tonight and a few lingering showers are possible tomorrow as well as upper-level low pressure will be slow to exit the region. With the return of some sunshine on Wednesday, it’ll turn milder, but more showers are possible on Wednesday night as another frontal system arrives in the area.

There will be scattered showers and thunderstorms later this afternoon and tonight in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor as a cold front approaches and some of it will be on the heavy side; especially, south of the PA/MD border. This rain event will be relatively short-lived compared to what is coming later this weekend and early next week. Following tonight’s cold frontal passage, weak high pressure will try to get us off to a decent start this weekend, but it will be facing long odds as low pressure will head our way from the Lower Mississippi Valley. Rain is likely to return to the Mid-Atlantic region late in the day tomorrow or early tomorrow night and then continue off and on into Tuesday of next week. The heaviest rainfall may come in two parts with one period centered on tomorrow night into Sunday morning and then a second phase from late Sunday into Monday. Residual showers may very well last into the day on Tuesday in the Mid-Atlantic region.

A cool front passed through the region in the overnight hours and today will turn out cooler with a low-level flow of air from off the Atlantic. This front will meander in the Mid-Atlantic region through tomorrow keeping it somewhat unsettled and then another cold front will arrive on Friday. The late week frontal system is liable to cause showers and thunderstorms as we close out the work week and the weekend is likely to start off on a decent note. However, there are strong signs that point to another possible Sunday washout – somewhat similar to what we experienced last weekend.

After a weekend that featured soaking rainfall, there will be a break in the action for the next couple of days as high pressure follows the departing low pressure system. It will become unsettled again later this week as a series of fronts will impact the region. The first front arrives late tomorrow as a cool front and this system will meander nearby during Wednesday and Thursday. Another cold front will approach from the west on Friday raising the chances for end-of-week showers and thunderstorms.

A back door cool front has passed through the region once again and today will turn out cooler than yesterday with some light rain or drizzle this morning and an afternoon shower or thunderstorm is possible. Showers and thunderstorms are possible again tonight as a cold front arrives in the region and this front will then stall in the Mid-Atlantic this weekend. Low pressure will pull out of the Tennessee Valley on Saturday and ride along the stalled out boundary zone and right towards the Mid-Atlantic region. As a result, more rain is likely here from late tomorrow into Sunday afternoon and some of it can be heavy at times; especially, in the overnight hours. Nicer weather will return early next week as high pressure follows the departing weekend low pressure system.
