A cold front clears through the region today and after the chance of early day showers, partial sunshine should return in the afternoon across the area. It looks dry on Tuesday and there can be another shower threat at mid-week as an upper-level trough settles over the eastern states. Temperatures remain mild through much of the week and then turn quite warm as we head into the upcoming weekend.

After a dry day to end the work week, an unsettled pattern will return on Saturday bringing the Mid-Atlantic region a chance of showers, maybe even an isolated thunderstorm. Another system has an even better shot at producing showers around here from Sunday night into Monday...sandwiched in between these two systems we’ll try to squeeze out a decent Mother’s Day with sun followed by late day clouds, but late day showers are possible. Yet another shower threat could reach the Mid-Atlantic by mid-week.

There was some beneficial rainfall on Wednesday in the Mid-Atlantic as a cold front approached the region and there will be other opportunities for showers in coming days. After a dry day to end the work week on Friday, the next disturbance will arrive on Saturday and occasional showers are likely in the area. By Sunday night and Monday, another system will increase the chance of showers as the unsettled weather pattern continues into the early part of next week.

A cold front approaches the region today and it will bring us some beneficial rainfall with a shower threat from later this morning on through the evening hours. The front stalls out on Thursday and low pressure will form along the boundary zone; however, the best chance for showers will be just to our south and east. High pressure takes back control of the weather to close out the work week on Friday and then the next disturbance can produce some shower activity around here on Saturday and yet another system on Sunday night and Monday.

Becoming quite breezy and warm today in the Mid-Atlantic region on the backside of a high pressure system which is located to the east of here and afternoon temperatures should reach 80 degrees. A cold front will approach the area at mid-week and low pressure will then form along the slow-moving frontal boundary zone on Thursday. As a result, occasional showers are likely here tomorrow and tomorrow night - maybe a thunderstorm as well - and there can be a few lingering showers on Thursday. High pressure takes back control of the weather to close out the work week on Friday and then a weak disturbance can produce some shower activity here at the beginning of the upcoming weekend.

It’ll turn noticeably warmer in the Mid-Atlantic region during the next couple of days as high pressure pushes to the east and low-level winds shift to a southwesterly direction. A cold front will approach the area at mid-week and then low pressure will likely form along the slow-moving frontal boundary zone on Thursday. As a result, periods of rain are likely here on Wednesday and Wednesday night there can be lingering showers on Thursday if the low pressure system pushes far enough to the north and west to impact the Mid-Atlantic region.

Weak high pressure will take control of the weather as we close out the work week, but there will be an increase in clouds and a couple of showers are possible tonight with the approach of a weak disturbance. Low pressure will push off the Mid-Atlantic coast on Saturday and it’ll result in clouds across the area and a slight chance of showers. Sunshine returns on Sunday and it stays dry and sunny on Monday as well with milder temperatures to start the new work week.

A strong cold front will push through the region early today paving the way for breezy and cool conditions in the Mid-Atlantic and temperatures late tonight can drop to near 40 degrees in many suburban locations. High pressure will take control on Friday, but its impact will be rather short-lived and limited as an intensifying low pressure system heads to a position just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Saturday. The DC-to-PHL-to-NYC corridor will be on the northwest edge of the precipitation shield on Saturday, but some rain cannot be ruled out. Whether this area of rain makes it into the region, the weekend will turn out to be on the cool side of normal and the overall cooler weather pattern looks likely to continue well into the month of May.

May gets underway on Friday, and it looks like a cooler-than-normal pattern will dominate in the eastern half of the nation to at least the middle of the new month. Multiple cooler than normal air masses are likely to push into the north-central states from central Canada during those next couple of weeks and these will ultimately spread to the south and east and encompass the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast US. A favorable pattern for the transport of cooler-than-normal air masses from Canada into the US will feature a persistent upper-level trough centered near the Great Lakes as well as some “high-latitude blocking” up across northeastern Canada and Greenland. In addition to the expected cooler conditions, multiple rain events are on the table during the next couple of weeks beginning with one from later today into early Thursday which will impact the Mid-Atlantic region.

Low pressure will head towards the northeastern states here at mid-week and it should bring us a decent rainfall from later today into early Thursday and a strong thunderstorm can be in the mix. High pressure takes over for the late week and then we’ll have to monitor a coastal storm on Saturday. This system can sideswipe us with some rainfall to begin the weekend or it could just miss us to the south and east....in either case, the weekend will be on the cool side and the cool pattern will continue well into May.
