Discussion

High pressure remains anchored off the east coast and will continue to push warm and humid air into the Mid-Atlantic region. A frontal system will approach the area later today and the result will be yet another chance of late day and evening showers and thunderstorm and any storm that forms can produce heavy rainfall. The high pressure system over the western Atlantic will tend to breakdown later this week and another disturbance is likely to increase the chance for rain at week’s end and going into the weekend. There is a chance that some of the rain that falls this weekend can be on the heavy side.
