Discussion
A much more refreshing air mass will arrive today in the Mid-Atlantic region and it’ll stay comfortable right into the early part of next week. As the cold front only slowly grinds its way through the area today, there will additional showers and perhaps an embedded thunderstorm or two. Highs today will be confined to the 70's and it’ll turn refreshingly cool by early tomorrow morning with many spots recording lows near 60 degrees. On the tropical scene, low pressure near the Bahamas this morning will meander off the eastern seaboard over the next couple of days. Given the warm waters in that part of the western Atlantic Ocean, tropical storm formation is on the table by early next week and it would be named 'Dorian'.
