Discussion              

The weather remains somewhat unsettled today with a nearby stationary front and a continuation of the shower threat, perhaps a thunderstorm. The combination of clouds and a low-level ocean flow of air will keep temperatures well below-normal for this time of year with highs in the lower 70’s. A warming trend will begin on Friday and the weekend will become quite warm with sunshine on both days. Another cool front will arrive by the early part of next week ushering in another comfortable air mass for the Mid-Atlantic region.
