Discussion
Low pressure in the upper part of the atmosphere is shifting off the coast of the Northeast US today and this should result in rain-free conditions in the Mid-Atlantic region. There will be plenty of sun today and afternoon temperatures should peak not far from the 90 degree mark. It’ll get hotter on Friday with temperatures likely to climb into the 90’s and there can be some afternoon/evening shower and thunderstorm activity as a back door cool front approaches the area. The passage of the back door cool front should bring us back to the mid and upper 80's for highs this weekend and there should be some sunshine on both days. In terms of rain possibilities for the weekend, an afternoon or evening shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out on either day.
