SYNOPSIS
High pressure continues to move offshore as a series of fronts and low pressure systems affect the East Coast through the end of the week. High pressure looks to return for the weekend and the start of next week.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/
Stationary front looks likely to remain positioned more or less from north central PA southeastard towards the southern end of the Delaware coast. Northeast of the front, low clouds, patchy mist and drizzle will predominate through Thursday, with some patchy dense fog possible across coastal areas thanks to the persistent onshore flow off the ocean. Primary low in the Great Lakes will weaken as it hits the high to our northeast with secondary developing along the stationary front and pushing eastward into the ocean on Thursday. Main push of showers and embedded t-storms riding over the cool surface will arrive overnight, but with the stable low levels, main threat will be some brief heavy rains and isolated lightning strikes. Bulk of Thursday looks relatively dry, with some reduction in fog and mist/drizzle as the day wears on thanks to the strong April insolation and a slight movement of the stationary boundary northeastward. That said, not expecting it to move much, so lows for most of the region will be in the mid-upper 40s north and east of Philly and low-mid 50s south and west, with highs on Thursday near 50 north and east of Philly. South and west, temps rapidly rise as one reaches and passes the maximum northeastward push of the front, with highs near 70 in far southenr Delaware and the Maryland Eastern Shore.

SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/
Overall, the short term forecast remains largely unchanged. By Thursday night, the weak coastal low will be shunted south and eastward enough that surface high pressure can build in and briefly shutoff the chances for showers. Lows Thursday night look to fall into the 40s most everywhere across the region.

Following the brief respite from showers Thursday night, the next mid-level wave approaches the region on Friday. Latest guidance continues to indicate that the pre-existing high will be strong enough to hold off any precipitation through the morning. However, the approaching wave will eventually move in and bring yet another cold front across the region with the opportunity for more showers.
Chances for showers begin to increase Friday afternoon and look to peak Friday night. However, the front overall continues to look to be drier so chances for precip Friday night are now around 30-40 percent at most. Showers look to clear the region by late Friday night/early Saturday morning. Temperatures will rise into the upper 50s to low 60s during the on Friday before falling into the upper 40s to low 50s Friday night.

High pressure begins to nudge in on Saturday as the cold front moves offshore. With the exception of some lingering showers in the morning along the coast, everyone should be dry on Saturday with gradually clearing skies. Temperatures will get into the mid to upper 60s.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
The back half of the weekend and into early next week looks rather benign as high pressure continues to settle in on Saturday Night with the front from Friday stalling to the south of the region. Long range guidance is continuing to suggest that a system will slide by just to our south Sunday Night into Monday along the boundary.
Depending on exactly how far south the front stalls, this would potentially allow a few showers to leak back into the most southern portion of the region Sunday Night. Most of the deterministic guidance and ensembles keep the weak area of low pressure far enough south for everyone to stay dry however, and no mentionable PoPs are currently in the forecast. High pressure begins to settle in for Monday/Tuesday with quiet weather anticipated. Another system looks to come in around mid-week with some showers, but guidance varies quite a bit beyond Tuesday.

With the front to the south of the region though, temperatures will likely be below normal through Monday, with highs in the upper 50s/low 60s and overnight lows in the upper 30s/low 40s.
Temperatures look to moderate for the middle of next week, with a return to near normal temperatures.
