Discussion
High pressure will push off the coast today and this will allow for much warmer air to move into the Mid-Atlantic region from the southern states. A frontal system will approach the area late Wednesday and increase the chance of showers and thunderstorms and then this same front will stall out in the area and weaken later in the week. Another frontal system will follow early this weekend and it can bring us a chance of showers and thunderstorms on either weekend day.
