Discussion
High pressure has pushed off the eastern seaboard and this will result in some dramatic temperatures changes over the next 24 hours or so. Temperatures today will jump well up into the 60’s as low-level winds turn to a more southerly direction and then as southwesterly flow intensifies on Friday, they’ll climb to the lower 80's for afternoon highs. A cool front will cross the region on Friday night perhaps with a few showers and an embedded thunderstorm and then it’ll stall just to our south as we begin the weekend. By Sunday, low pressure will form along this stalled-out frontal boundary zone and clouds will return to the region along with the threat of showers and it’ll turn cooler as we close out the weekend. Meanwhile, a tropical system will form this weekend over the southwestern Atlantic and slide to our east; however, it may indirectly contribute to the development of a mid-week coastal low.
