Discussion
The stubborn low pressure system that spun around to our north over the past couple of days will finally give way today to building high pressure in the Mid-Atlantic region. As a result, our weather pattern will calm down for the next several days featuring dry conditions right into early next week along with a gradual warm up.
One other note...it is that time of year again for the Geminid meteor shower. Geminid meteor activity is picking now up as Earth moves deeper into the debris stream of rock comet 3200 Phaethon. Forecasters expect the shower to peak this weekend with as many as 120 meteors per hour. Wherever you live, the best time to look is during the hours between midnight and dawn on Saturday and Sunday.
