Discussion               

Humidity is high here today and it will contribute to unsettled conditions during the next few days with a stalled-out frontal system nearby. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely in the Mid-Atlantic region through the remainder of the work week with the best chance later today south of the PA/MD border including right here in the DC metro region. Any shower or thunderstorm later today and tonight can produce some heavy rainfall amounts in a short period of time…watch out for localized flooding conditions. High pressure will resume control of the weather around here this weekend with some sunshine expected both days along with very reasonable temperatures for this time of year.
