Discussion
High pressure is in control as we begin the new work week, but the arrival of a weak frontal system will bring some clouds to the area tonight and Tuesday and perhaps a shower or two. Following the front, more high pressure will push into the Mid-Atlantic region and result in generally cool and dry weather for the mid and late week time periods. Meanwhile, Hurricane Sam is churning over the Atlantic and needs to be closely monitored. As high pressure builds into the southeastern part of Canada in coming days, Hurricane Sam could take a turn towards the Northeast US/New England during the upcoming weekend.
