Discussion

High pressure continues to dominate the weather scene today in the Mid-Atlantic region and it’ll stay comfortably warm. A weak cold front approaches later in the week, but it could pass through the region on the dry side. High pressure will follow across the Northeast US for the weekend which is looking quite nice for this time of year. Meanwhile, the tropics are active and there are two systems that bear watching for the next week to ten days. The first system will take a southern route and it could become a major player near Florida and/or the Gulf of Mexico by the early part of next week. In fact, this system has a chance to be the first hurricane to strike the state of Florida since October 2005 which would end their unprecedented hurricane drought. The second system, Gaston, is likely to intensify significantly over the next few days; however, it is also likely to stay out-to-sea.
