Discussion
Clouds will increase later today ahead of an approaching cold front and the recent stretch of dry weather should come to an end overnight and on Friday with occasional showers and perhaps a thunderstorm or two. We’ll get back to rather nice weather this weekend as Canadian high pressure takes control in the Mid-Atlantic region. A frontal boundary in the area will increase the chances again for showers during the early part of next week. One final note, as low-level winds become southwesterly, smoke could reach the DC metro region from a growing wildfire in the Shenandoah Valley National Park (southwestern Virginia).
