Discussion
High pressure will push offshore today and this positioning will open the door for moisture to ride up along the eastern seaboard over the next few days. After patchy fog and clouds early today, sunshine will return and we'll climb towards the 80 degree mark for afternoon highs. After a rather similar type of day on Wednesday, moisture from the southeastern states will increase chances for showers and thunderstorms here on Thursday and that threat will continue into the early part of the weekend. By Sunday, high pressure will push back into the eastern US and we'll likely enjoy a nice day in the Mid-Atlantic region to close out the upcoming weekend.
