Discussion              

It’ll be quite humid today, but not as warm as yesterday, and there is a good chance for showers and thunderstorms as a cold front crosses the region. This front will usher in another comfortable air mass for the Mid-Atlantic region setting us up for a nice Tuesday and a still pretty comfortably warm day at mid-week.  Temperatures will then climb back to the 90’s later in the week and the holiday weekend is looking somewhat unsettled from this vantage point as a frontal system likely stalls in the region. As a result of the nearby frontal system, there may be scattered showers and thunderstorms on both Saturday and Sunday.
