Discussion              

High pressure pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region on Tuesday and it will stay in control for another day here at mid-week. A frontal system will arrive on Thursday and there will be occasional rain with possible thunderstorms.  Some of the rain that falls on Thursday can be heavy at times and some of the storms can be strong. Drier air returns for Friday and the weekend looks to feature quite warm conditions with just a chance for a few showers on Saturday night. 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.
