Discussion              

An upper-level low pressure system continues to push slowly away from the coast and high pressure will build into the region for the weekend.  As a result, today will be a bit on the cool side of normal with a slight chance for a PM shower and Saturday is likely to be the nicest day in quite awhile across the Mid-Atlantic region. The weather for Sunday and Monday should feature comfortably warm conditions, but a couple of disturbances can bring scattered showers to the region on both days, maybe even a thunderstorm or two. Showers and thunderstorms are even more likely on Tuesday with the approach of a frontal system and it should turn cooler again by the middle of next week.
