Discussion

High pressure will weaken today across the area and a low pressure system moving eastward across southeastern Canada will drag a cool front towards us later in the day. This weak frontal system could spark a scattered shower or thunderstorm around here tonight, but it certainly should not be a significant rain event. High pressure will then resume control for much of the remainder of the week and high temperatures are likely to be confined to the 80’s after reaching the lower 90’s this afternoon. Tropical Storm Chris may strengthen off the Carolina coastline over the next couple of days as it meanders around, but it should then be pushed to the northeast and even farther away from here by the end of the week.
