Discussion
High pressure to our north is battling with a stalled out frontal system to our south for control of our weather. While sunshine will dominate today north of the PA/MD border, it looks like clouds will hold on in the immediate DC metro region. Then, as the next front approaches, showers will return to the area later tonight and continue on Friday and there can be a thunderstorm or two. A secondary cold front will arrive late Saturday and bring with it another round of showers and perhaps a thunderstorm. Behind that second cold front, much cooler air will push into the region for Sunday/Monday and overnight low temperatures could drop to the 30’s in some suburban locations.
