Discussion
High pressure edged into the Mid-Atlantic region late yesterday and it will be in control of the weather for today’s holiday providing us with some sunshine, breezy, cool and dry conditions. A (dry) cold front will pass through the area tomorrow night and usher in some chilly air for the upcoming weekend with temperatures holding at below-normal levels on Saturday and Sunday. It turns even colder for the first half of next week following the passage of another cold frontal system. One final note, there is likely to be a low pressure system just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline late in the upcoming weekend and it there is an outside chance that it spreads some precipitation into the I-95 corridor by Sunday night.
