A powerful low pressure system will form in the central Plains on Friday and take a northeastward track towards the western Great Lakes region. There will be strong support in the upper-atmosphere for this system and a second strong upper-level low will begin to slide eastward across the southern states. This southern system will combine with multiple jet streaks to help destabilize the atmosphere around here from late Friday night through Saturday. As a result, showers and thunderstorms are likely here late Friday night and through the day on Saturday and some of the thunderstorms can reach severe levels with damaging winds and tornadoes on the table.

The combination of an intense upper-level low, powerful jet streaks at multiple levels of the atmosphere, strong southerly low-level flow of warm, moist air, and a deepening surface low pressure system will likely lead to a severe weather outbreak from later Friday into Friday night. Indeed, this threat of severe weather may continue right through the upcoming weekend as it shifts slowly to the east reaching the Atlantic seaboard by the latter part of the weekend. The deepening surface low pressure system may reach central pressures not often seen in this part of the nation which will result in a very strong pressure gradient potentially leading to widespread damaging winds. In addition, this unfolding atmospheric setup can lead to some strong tornado activity from later Friday into Saturday across portions of the central and eastern US.

Today will be a nice day throughout the Mid-Atlantic region with plenty of sunshine and afternoon high temperatures well above normal for this time of year. A “back door” cold front will bring cooler air back to the region for tomorrow as low-level winds switch to a north-northeast direction. (I refer to this kind of cold front as a “back door” since it “sneaks in” from our northeast instead of the more conventional approach from the west). Temperatures will surge to milder levels at the end of the week and it’ll stay quite mild through the upcoming weekend. The weekend becomes wet, however, with showers possible from late Saturday through the day on Sunday and some of that rain can be heavy at times.
