Inside the "Washing Machine": Cold Front Flips the Holiday Weekend Script

A cold front brings scattered severe storms and heavy rain tonight (mainly south of I-64). Memorial Day weekend will be damp, cool, and highly unsettled as a "wedge" of chilly marine air locks in for Friday and Saturday, keeping temperatures in the 60s for many.

A late-weekend warmup brings a return to the 80s, but rain chances stick around through early next week, delivering 1.0" to 2.5" of drought-busting rainfall. Rough seas will create hazardous beach conditions.

From Record Heat to Holiday Chill: The Massive Weather Flip Heading Our Way

Heat across the East Coast

Today and Wednesday will bring blistering, near-record heat in the mid-to-upper 90s across the region. A slowing cold front brings a marginal risk for strong-to-severe storms late Wednesday night, primarily north of Richmond, with damaging wind gusts being the main threat.

Behind the front, a dramatic weather pattern shift (a cold air damming wedge) will cause temperatures to plummet into the 60s and 70s by Friday, bringing damp, cloudy, and unsettled conditions that could linger through much of the holiday weekend. Beachgoers and mariners should also prepare for building seas and a moderate rip current risk for all area beaches starting Thursday.
