Discussion
High pressure slid off the coast yesterday allowing for warmer and more humid air to push into the Mid-Atlantic region from the Tennessee Valley and it’ll stay quite warm and humid here right through the first half of the upcoming weekend. A weak frontal system has stalled out nearby and it’ll keep us unsettled for the next few days as it meanders around the Mid-Atlantic region. As a result, we’ll have scattered showers and thunderstorms through tomorrow night and then even more widespread showers and thunderstorms are likely on Friday and Saturday. Any shower or thunderstorm that forms over the next few days can produce some heavy downpours and there is a chance for severe weather late Saturday and early Saturday night as a strong cool front arrives. Following the frontal passage, it'll turn less humid and slightly cooler on Sunday and nice weather conditions are likely on Monday and Tuesday.
