Discussion
High pressure has been in control of the weather around here for the past several days, but it’ll weaken today as a weak cold front approaches from the north. Today will be the warmest day of the past few and the next few as high temperatures flirt with the 80 degree mark in the I-95 corridor, but then it’ll turn cooler by mid-week behind the passage of the weak cold frontal system. Another cold front approaches late in the week and it is likely to end our dry spell with showers likely Thursday night and Friday – perhaps even a thunderstorm. Elsewhere, the weekend major snowstorm that pounded the Colorado Rockies has ended, but that part of the country is quite likely to get more accumulating snow next week. Looking ahead around here, signs point to more “colder-than-normal” weather next week in the Northeast US and Mid-Atlantic regions.
