Discussion
Another cool front will reach our area tonight and it will generate more scattered showers and thunderstorms for the Mid-Atlantic region. Following the frontal passage, there will be a noticeable cool down on Friday and it’ll stay rather comfortable through the upcoming weekend as well. In fact, the weekend looks like it will turn out quite nice with some sunshine each day to go along with those comfortably warm temperatures. Very strong high pressure ridging will set up early next week across southeastern Canada keeping us relatively dry and warm for this time of year. This kind of upper-level pattern with strong ridging to our north always raises a red flag this time of year for the potential of a tropical system to “slide underneath” the ridge and head towards the southeast US. Consequently, we’ll need to keep an eye on the Caribbean Sea, southwestern Atlantic, and Gulf of Mexico during the next couple of weeks.
