Friday Shower Chances

We'll quickly exit this chilly hit of temperatures and return to a more typical May temperature (lower 70's) as soon as Friday. With that moderation in temperature expected over the coming days, an upper level disturbance will spiral through the Mid Atlantic and act as a trigger for some showers during the afternoon and evening hours, primarily to the west of Philadelphia on Friday afternoon and then across the region on Friday evening...at least as computer guidance is indicating as of now.

This doesn't look like a washout or an all-day event by any stretch -- and much of Friday should be dry although clouds will increase as the day wares on and the upper low moves in.    Scattered showers are certainly possible, however, and a few rumbles of thunder can't be ruled out as well in the strongest of showers.   These weak upper level disturbances will be the norm over the coming days as a zonal pattern develops in the East and we see quick moving systems work through along the mean jet stream.   It wouldn't surprise me to see us get shower chances every other day through the next week.   No washouts but no prolonged dry weather, either!
