Discussion              

Strong high pressure will be in control of the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region for the next several days and that includes the long holiday weekend. Sunshine is likely to prevail each day from today through next Tuesday with high pressure nearby and this same system will help to prevent the remnants of Idalia to make it any farther north today than the southeastern part of North Carolina. Temperatures in this upcoming stretch of nice weather will start off very comfortable in the Mid-Atlantic region with the high pressure stationed primarily to our west. However, after the high pressure shifts to a position off the east coast, much warmer air from the middle of the country will make an advancement to the eastern seaboard. As a result, it’ll turn very warm here early next week with 90+ degree highs likely on Monday and Tuesday.
