Discussion

August has been cooler-than-normal so far (-1.1 degrees at DCA) an another spectacular air mass is headed our way for this time of year. The weather through tonight will be warm and humid with a spotty showers and thunderstorms, but rain is more likely on Tuesday as another cool front approaches the region and some of the rain can be heavy at times. High pressure will follow the frontal system for the mid and late week time periods bringing us the return of sunshine and very comfortable conditions for mid-August with highs likely holding at or below 80 degrees in many Mid-Atlantic locations. Elsewhere, the sun remains rather quiet as does the Atlantic tropical scene. Meanwhile, the Perseid meteor shower will peak later tonight; however, the sky conditions do not look all that favorable.
