Discussion              

The new work week starts off on the sunny side as high pressure edges into the Mid-Atlantic region. Low pressure passes to our north from late tonight into early Tuesday and it can bring us some late night rain showers. After highs well up in the 50’s today, temperatures will trend downward with highs generally at or below 50 degrees for the remainder of the week. Winds will be quite strong on Tuesday and Wednesday which will make it feel even colder than the actual air temperature. Low pressure may try to form near the east coast this weekend with the potential of bringing us rain and/or snow….something to monitor in coming days.
