Discussion              

High pressure will move offshore today and a couple of frontal systems will affect us over the next couple of days. A warm front will push through from the south later today and then a cold front approaches from the west later tomorrow. As a result, the overall humidity and the chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase by tonight and there can be some rain on Friday as well. Looking ahead, the potential exists for a dry weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region with warm conditions and lowering humidity following the passage of the cold front. The weather likely turns unsettled once again early next week as a potent system heads this way on Monday.
