Discussion

High pressure sliding off the Mid-Atlantic coast will pump in milder air over the next couple of days and open the door for a cool frontal system to approach the region from the middle of the country. Temperatures today will climb into the comfortable mid-to-upper 70’s and conditions may be favorable by late tonight for patchy fog to form in some suburban locations. Once that fog burns off tomorrow morning, skies should clear and temperatures will head towards the 80 degree mark. Saturday will start off dry, but showers and possible thunderstorms are likely later Saturday and especially Saturday night as the front closes in on the region. The front moves through on Sunday, but another shower or thunderstorm is possible as we close out the weekend. It'll turn slightly cooler following the frontal passage for the early part of next week and we'll be watching an area of moisture in the Southeast US that should slide off the coast before ever reaching this far north.
