Discussion              

A cool front will clear the coast this morning and usher in a comfortable air mass for the Mid-Atlantic region. Humidity will lower today as a westerly breeze picks up and temperatures late tonight will drop to cooler levels seen around here in quite awhile. It stays pleasant on Saturday with plenty of sunshine expected and turns warmer on Sunday and Monday. Peak temperatures on Saturday afternoon should be in the lower 80’s and then in the low-to-mid 90’s by Monday afternoon just ahead of the next cool front.
