Discussion
The active weather pattern that we have experienced during the past few weeks will continue this week with three different systems to deal with by the upcoming weekend. The first system will be a low pressure area with its associated warm front that rides northward today along the east coast. This combination will generate periods of rain in our area and then warmer air pushes in on Tuesday ahead of system number two - a strong cold front. That strong cold front will press east from the Midwest on Tuesday and it is generate additional showers here and perhaps even a strong-to-severe thunderstorm. Following that frontal passage, cooler air will push in for the second half of the week and we’ll have to watch yet another low pressure system ride out of the southern states towards the Mid-Atlantic with the strong likelihood for more rain here on Friday and that will be followed by some very chilly air for the weekend and early part of next week.
