Discussion              

High pressure builds into the region later today with an influx of drier air and gusty winds and then a comfortably cool night will be followed by a nice day on Friday. Another low pressure system will develop in the Mid-Atlantic region on Saturday and there will be a noticeably cooler air mass pushing into the area.  Showers are likely to go along with the unusually cool conditions and temperatures will no better than the low-to-mid 70’s for afternoon highs.  It’ll stay unsettled on Sunday given the chilly air aloft with the continuation of below-normal temperatures and a threat for showers.
