Discussion              

The timing of the next cold front could turn out to be perfect as it likely clears the way for a very nice June weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region featuring very comfortable temperatures and humidity levels. It will be quite breezy, however, on both weekend days. The cold front will generate some shower activity in the area anytime from late tonight into tomorrow night and there can be a couple of strong thunderstorms mixed in as well. High pressure from Canada will drop to the Great Lakes by the weekend and will anchor a cooler-than-normal air mass for the region on both Saturday and Sunday.  Elsewhere, the next several days will feature some very hot weather in the Midwest and Southeast US and some of this air will try to make it into the Mid-Atlantic region by the middle of next week.
