Discussion

Skies will be mainly sunny today in the Mid-Atlantic region, but the sun will be dimmed somewhat by smoke-filled skies that is coming from wildfire activity up in Canada and the sunset tonight could be quite "orange" if it isn't cloudy. A frontal system will arrive later tomorrow and it will raise the chance for showers and thunderstorms. Following the passage of the frontal system, high pressure from the Great Lakes region will slide towards the Mid-Atlantic and comfortably warm air will push in for the Thursday/Friday/Saturday time period.
