Discussion
A weak disturbance will cross the region later today and while it could generate an isolated shower or thunderstorm, it does not look like a significant precipitation event by any means. High pressure will build back into the region on Saturday and the weekend will start off quite nice with dry, warm conditions and afternoon highs near 80 degrees. However, moisture from the Great Lakes will drop from the northwest-to-southeast later in the weekend and likely reach the I-95 corridor in the form of showers by late Sunday. Once those showers arrive, it looks like they’ll stick around going right through Monday and perhaps even into Tuesday as strong upper-level low spins over the Northeast US for a few days. Cooler-than-normal conditions are likely here for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week and there will likely be additional cool air outbreaks for the Mid-Atlantic region as we progress through the first half of June.
