Discussion
Strong high pressure across south-central Canada will build to the east over the next couple of days and it will control the weather around here in the Mid-Atlantic region through at least mid-week. This Canadian high pressure system is the anchor to a chilly air mass for the middle of September and it will bring us some of the coolest conditions so far this season over the next few nights. Late in the week, the weather becomes more uncertain as the remains of what is now Tropical Storm Sally may become intertwined with a strong cold front that will be closing in from our northwest. It currently appears that the heaviest rains from the remnants of Sally will stay to our south over the Carolinas, but we'll have to monitor that threat over the next couple of days. Following the passage of the strong cold front, the coolest air of the season so far will push into the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US during this upcoming weekend.
