Discussion              

A soaking rain event is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region for Friday and Saturday. High pressure will move back into the region today, but its stay will be rather short-lived.  Another low pressure system will head across the Ohio Valley on Friday and bring us rain here from tomorrow into Saturday and it’ll turn cooler and as well. Some of the rain during this event can fall heavily at times and winds will get quite gusty on Friday night and Saturday. After that, this same low pressure system will stall just off the east coast at the same time strong high pressure builds to our northeast over southeastern Canada. There will be a battle on Sunday, Mother’s Day, between the nearby low and high pressure systems with cool, breezy conditions quite likely as well as the chance for showers; especially, in eastern sections of the Mid-Atlantic region.
