Forecast Discussion

A front is stalled to our northeast, stretching from Virginia the Great Lakes. High pressure is centered to our southeast from the Atlantic into the Gulf pumping warm, moist air into the Southeast. A weak disturbance moving across the region will add the energy needed to produce widely scattered showers today with a rumble of thunder possible. A northwest wind will be noticeable.

Wednesday, the shower potential looks slightly lower, except for areas on the west side of the Appalachians.

A front moves across the center of the country Wednesday and reaches us Thursday morning. Expect showers Thursday morning with thunder possible.

High temperatures Thursday will be in the morning. Colder air arrives in the afternoon and Thursday night on gusty NW winds.

Chilly Canadian high pressure moves east from the Great Lakes into the Mid-Atlantic Friday and Saturday. Friday is chilly and windy. Saturday has slightly milder temperatures and increasing clouds late.

Low pressure strengthens in the Southwest U. S. late this week and moves across the Southeast Sunday. Expect clouds and rain Sunday with intensity yet to be determined. Computer guidance differs on the timing of a cold surge early next week, but you can bet on unseasonably cold weather by the middle of next week.
