Discussion              

Overall weather conditions improved markedly on Monday in the Mid-Atlantic region and it should stay quite nice through at least the day on Thursday with plenty of sunshine each day and comfortable temperatures.  High pressure stationed to our northeast will remain in control for the next few days, but it will also act to push an oceanic low pressure system back to the east coast later in the week. This is the same storm system that dampened much of the weekend in the Mid-Atlantic as it interacts with a northern stream wave of energy, its moisture could push northward along the eastern seaboard by the early part of the weekend.  The result is likely to be an increasing threat of showers by the time we get to Friday night and Saturday although temperatures should remain on the warm side.
