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 Tuesday with high pressure nearby.  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 coast, much warmer air from the middle of the country will make an advancement to the eastern states. As a result, it’ll turn quite warm around here by the second half of the weekend with low-to-mid 90’s likely from Sunday through Wednesday.
