Discussion              

The week will start off on the warm side, but a cold front swings through later in the day and it’ll usher in cooler air for later tonight and Tuesday.  High pressure takes control for the mid-week and then attention will turn down the coast at week’s end.  A tropical system could ride up along the eastern seaboard from Friday into Saturday and this could result in a heavy rain event for the Mid-Atlantic region. Following the passage of the tropical system, the weekend is likely to see a flip in the overall temperature pattern to one that is noticeably colder for the eastern states.
