Discussion              

High pressure that had its origins up in Canada will continue to influence the weather around here providing us with another pleasant day featuring comfortable temperatures and low humidity. This high will move offshore on Thursday and a couple of disturbances will head this way from the middle of the country. As a result, the humidity and chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase later tomorrow and it looks like the threat for rain will continue on Friday as well.  Looking ahead, the potential exists for a dry weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region with comfortable temperatures as another high pressure system expands into the region. The weather likely turns unsettled once again early next week.
