Discussion
A cool front passed through the region in the overnight hours and its passage will result in much more comfortable conditions today and eliminate the chance of showers and thunderstorms. Another frontal system will approach late Thursday and it could bring us a shower or thunderstorm, but Friday looks to be a rain-free day with comfortably warm conditions. It'll turn quite warm over the upcoming weekend and the threat of showers and thunderstorms will increase by the time we get to later Sunday. One final note, there is a chance that some of the very dry and dusty desert air mass that pushed across the Atlantic Ocean in recent days makes it all the way into the Mid-Atlantic region by later this weekend. If so, it could result in much more colorful sunrises and sunsets for a couple of days with an enhanced orange or reddish tint to the skies.
