Discussion              

A refreshingly cool air mass pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region just in time for the Father’s Day weekend and it’ll remain quite comfortable today as we begin a new work week.  The upper-level flow remains generally in a northwesterly direction across the northeastern states with high pressure ridging centered over the middle of the nation and as long as this is the case, sustained heat will be difficult to attain in this region. As far as precipitation is concerned, after a rain-free day today, the chances for showers will rise some later tomorrow. Then there appears to be a real good chance of chance of showers and thunderstorms later Wednesday into Wednesday night and some of this rain can be heavy. Later in the week, we’ll have to watch out for the movement of a cut-off low pressure area over the western Atlantic Ocean which could change the current outlook for generally dry conditions around here.
