Discussion
A cool frontal system passed through the region last night and its passage ushered in a reinforcing shot of pretty comfortable air for late August. High pressure will resume control today and help to provide plenty of sunshine for the area. Temperatures today will hold in the low-to-mid 80's for afternoon highs and then top out in the middle 80's by week's end. A series of disturbances will keep it somewhat unsettled around here this weekend. Elsewhere, while the eastern US enjoys pleasant weather, it remains quite hot out in the western US. In the tropics, a parade of systems are lined up from the Caribbean Sea to Africa assuring an active stretch of weather as we progress through the part of August.
