The National Weather Service forecast indicates that a few waves of low pressure will move from the lower Mississippi River Valley to the Great Lakes through late week, bringing a cold front across the Mid-Atlantic by Friday. Another area of low pressure is expected to move from the Mid-South to the Mid-Atlantic over the weekend.

So far, radar returns have been limited in the covered area, and the atmosphere is not yet saturated. The risk of freezing rain or freezing drizzle appears to be very low. Precipitation is expected to remain limited throughout the day, with rain likely increasing later in the afternoon as a shortwave trough and deeper moisture approach. The temperature range is anticipated to be between the mid-40s and mid-50s.

Rain chances are expected to increase tonight as the axis of vorticity advection and deeper moisture spreads eastward across the area. However, the precipitation amounts are forecasted to be light for most areas. Temperatures may not fall significantly from daytime highs and could increase overnight as southerly winds pick up. The higher winds are likely to bring higher dew points, increasing the likelihood of fog.
