Discussion
High pressure will lose control of the weather around here today and a frontal system will meander in the Mid-Atlantic region for much of the week and weekend. As a result, our temperatures will tend to bounce up and down with today and Thursday becoming quite warm, but it’ll be cooler on Wednesday as low-level winds become southeasterly for a short time. Also, there will be multiple shots at showers and thunderstorms this week as this frontal system oscillates in the region, but much rain-free time as well.
