Discussion
A cooler-than-normal air mass will push into the region early this weekend resulting in very comfortable temperatures for the weekend and also for the first half of next week. While there will be plenty of sunshine during the weekend and the early part of next week, the atmosphere will become somewhat unsettled given the unusually cool air aloft and this can result in a shower from time-to-time. High pressure to our north will be the main player this weekend and early next week and there will be an upper-level trough slowly dropping southward into the Carolinas.
