Discussion
A couple of cold fronts will usher in a spectacular air mass for this time of year just in time for the Father’s Day weekend. An initial cold front passed through the area last night and the arrival of a second front later today can spark an isolated shower or thunderstorm. Strong high pressure will then take control of the weather for the weekend…a system that had its origins way up in northern Canada providing us with very comfortable temperatures and humidity levels. There will be a stiff NW wind on both weekend days with gusts to 30 mph possible. Elsewhere, intense heat will continue to affect the region from the south-central states-to-the Southeast US over the next several days and some of this hot air will try to make an advance into the Mid-Atlantic region by the middle of next week.
