Discussion
High pressure will build into the region today and sunshine will finally make a return following an extended cloudy and wet period. In fact, it’ll stay rather nice through mid-week with the mild conditions continuing along with some sunshine on Tuesday and Wednesday as well. A major change to the overall pattern occurs late this week and the result of this transition in the atmosphere will likely be a powerful storm just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by week’s end. This strong system is likely to result in more soaking rainfall around here from Thursday into Friday and, as colder air wraps into the storm, perhaps even a changeover to snow showers before it comes to an end.
