.DISCUSSION...

A cold front passing across the lower Mid-Atlantic this evening 
will trigger a broken line of showers and a few thunderstorms. 
Winds this morning and afternoon will gust 15 mph to 25 mph from 
the southwest ahead of the front, and will shift from the north-
west locally up to 35 mph after frontal passage. Rain showers 
will linger through sunrise Saturday before coming to an end, 
and any wetting rainfall totals will remain less than 0.25" for 
most. Dry conditions are forecasted from Saturday through the 
next workweek, with temperatures returning to near-normal.
