A cold front will clear through the region this morning and today will turn out a bit cooler than yesterday and the weekend will be on the cool side as well. While there will be some sunshine on each of the next three days, a shower cannot be ruled at times as weak disturbances will pass by. The best chance in awhile for some decent rainfall in the Mid-Atlantic region will come from later Monday into Tuesday as low pressure pushes to the east from the Midwestern states. Elsewhere, a major storm will slam into the US west coast from Sunday into Monday with tremendous amounts of precipitation and also powerful winds and it could translate into a storm near the east coast by the end of next week.

Much of California and the rest of the western US has been experiencing “extreme” or “exceptional” drought conditions in recent weeks, but that could change in a big way in coming days. A very powerful storm will slam into the US west coast from Sunday into Monday and it could generate a foot or more of rain in the northern part of California and heavy snowfall across interior higher elevation locations of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In addition, winds associated with this monster storm are likely to be excessive and potentially damaging in many spots along the west coast and even inland. This same system is likely to cross the country later next week and it could wind up as a significant east coast storm by week’s end.

High pressure remains in control of the weather today and it’ll provide some more nice weather in the Mid-Atlantic region ahead of a cool frontal passage that takes place in the overnight hours. It turns cooler behind the front on Friday and stays cool this weekend with some sunshine likely on all three days. The first chance for some decent rainfall around here will come early next week as low pressure pushes into the Mid-Atlantic region. Elsewhere, a big pattern change will take place across California and this will result in substantial rainfall amounts for at least the northern half of California in coming days.

High pressure remains in control across much of the eastern US and the weather will be pretty nice in the local region. A cold front will push through by week’s end and it could result in a couple of showers around here on Friday night and Saturday. An even cooler air mass will follow for the early part of next week with a new high pressure system building into the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor.

Northwesterly flow will continue in the Mid-Atlantic region during the next couple of days in the wake of the weekend cold frontal passage and this will help to keep temperatures on the cool side of normal. Another cold front will approach the region late in the week and it could usher in even cooler air for the upcoming weekend.

It has been a drab and dreary weather pattern in the Mid-Atlantic region during the past several days with plenty of low-level moisture and rather stubborn cloudiness. Thick clouds rule the skies today and will likely do so again for much of Wednesday; however, there is reason to believe sunshine will return later in the week and this will be accompanied by a warming trend. In fact, temperatures by Friday afternoon should climb into the 80’s across much of the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. A strong cold front arrives this weekend bringing with it a chance of showers and thunderstorms and it’ll turn noticeably cooler on Sunday and Monday.

The next week to ten days or so will feature quite differing weather conditions across the nation with colder-than-normal temperatures across the western half and warmer-than-normal in the eastern half. An upper-level trough of low pressure will park itself over the western US in coming days and a strong ridge of high pressure will center itself over eastern Canada and the eastern US. By the third week of October, this upper-level ridge of high pressure may “retrograde” back into central Canada and this shift could allow for a big cool down in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US by the 18th or 19th of October.

Low pressure will develop near the coast this weekend generating cooler, breezy and unsettled conditions including a threat of rain which can turn out to be on the heavy side in parts of the Mid-Atlantic.
