Discussion
Our cool, damp unsettled pattern continues right through the work week and even the weekend could have some shower activity to deal with. After occasional showers and drizzle today and tonight, strong surface low pressure will form on Thursday near the east coast and it will meander around for a couple of days given the unfolding classic “omega-shaped” blocking pattern in the upper part of the atmosphere. This coastal storm will produce occasional rain around here on Thursday and Friday and then it will slowly pull away and weaken this weekend. As a result, some sunshine should return to the region on Saturday, but showers cannot be ruled out and a frontal system may bring additional showers on Saturday night and early Sunday.
