Discussion              

High pressure remains in control around here for the next couple of days resulting in additional warmer-than-normal weather featuring plenty of sunshine. A strong cold front arrives early this weekend and it’ll result in a much cooler air mass moving into the Mid-Atlantic region with Sunday very likely to be the coolest day so far this fall season. Temperatures will climb to the low-to-mid 80’s later today and well up in the 70’s on Thursday, but likely will be confined to near 60 degrees for highs by the time we get to the second half of the weekend and the early part of next week.
