Discussion

The week will start off with very nice weather conditions as high pressure remains in control across much of the eastern US. Plenty of sunshine today will boost afternoon temperatures into the 70’s throughout the metro region. A cold front will approach the area on Tuesday and it could spawn some shower activity in the Mid-Atlantic region and perhaps even a thunderstorm or two. High pressure will resume control on Wednesday and the air behind the cold front will not be all that chilly so temperatures at mid-week should be able to climb back to 60 degrees. A stronger cold front arrives at the end of the week.
