Discussion
Strong high pressure draped across southeastern Canada will keep a cool, moist ocean flow of air in place for the next couple of days in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. As a result, temperatures will remain on the cool side; especially, when compared to the recent unusual warmth, and there can be some light rain or drizzle at just about any time into tomorrow night. By the weekend, this strong high pressure system will push off the coastline and our low-level winds will shift to more of a south-to-southwest direction and we’ll turn warmer - perhaps reaching the 80 degree mark by Sunday afternoon. Another cold front will arrive here on Sunday night – perhaps with some light rain shower activity – and then strong high pressure will expand eastward from the Upper Midwest and we’ll turn cooler again to begin the new work week.
