Discussion              

Temperatures will remain below-normal for the next couple of days in the Mid-Atlantic region as an upper-level low slowly pulls away from the Northeast US coastline.  Cold air in the upper atmosphere will continue to keep it somewhat unstable around here; consequently, there can be mid-day or afternoon scattered showers for another day. The weekend is shaping up to be quite nice with quieter and milder conditions as high pressure to the north takes control of the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region.
