Discussion              

Low pressure will pass through the region later today bringing with it occasional rain and possibly a strong thunderstorm or two… some of the rain can be heavy at times. High pressure will follow for the last day of the work week producing warm and dry conditions across the Mid-Atlantic. The weekend will feature warm conditions and primarily rain-free although a few showers are possible late Saturday and Saturday night, maybe a thunderstorm.  Looking ahead, a potent system may reach the Mid-Atlantic region late Monday raising the chances (once again) for heavy showers and strong-to-severe thunderstorms.

Note - Perseid meteor shower peaks late Saturday night/early Sunday morning
