The weather pattern has been one featuring copious amounts of clouds in recent days across the Mid-Atlantic region, but skies could brighten some later today and the prospects are pretty good for a decent amount of sunshine on Thursday and Friday. With the return of sunshine, a warming trend will develop and temperatures should climb back to the 80 degree mark for afternoon highs by week’s end. A strong cold front will arrive this weekend and bring with it a chance of late day showers and thunderstorms later Saturday and Saturday night and then noticeably cooler conditions will develop for Sunday and Monday.

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.

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.
