The rain-free weather that we’ve experienced during the past several days should come to an end later today with the arrival of a cold frontal system. Though the front is weakening as it heads towards the east coast, it should still be able to produce some shower and thunderstorm activity around here from late today into early Friday breaking our current dry spell. In fact, a few strong storms are possible which can contain brief downpours. A second cold front will arrive late Saturday and it too can produce some shower and thunderstorm activity in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. High pressure will return to the area for the Sunday and Monday time frame and another cool and dry air mass will spread here from the Great Lakes.

The month of August was not only quite a bit cooler-than-normal in the Mid-Atlantic region (coolest in 25 years in DC, 3rd coolest in 25 years for NYC), but it was also very dry as well in many areas. In fact, the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor saw virtually no rainfall during the last ten days of August and the month of September has started off rain-free as well. There is plenty of hope, however, that in the near-term there will be two chances for some welcome rainfall associated with two separate cold frontal systems. The first chance of showers and thunderstorms will come late Thursday and Thursday night with the initial cold front and then a second round of showers and thunderstorms is likely for late Saturday/Saturday night associated with cold front #2.

The comfortable and dry weather that we’ve been experiencing in recent days will continue here at mid-week with large high pressure remaining in control of the northeastern part of the nation. A cold front will push through the region from late Thursday night into early Friday and then a secondary cold front arrives late Saturday. These two fronts will present our best chance in awhile for some rainfall in the Mid-Atlantic region from late tomorrow into Friday and then again late Saturday. High pressure takes control of the weather for the second half of the weekend as another much cooler-than-normal air mass spreads eastward from the Great Lakes/Upper Midwest into the northeastern states.
