Discussion              

The weather will remain quite nice in the Mid-Atlantic region through much of the day on Friday, but the weekend looks like it will feature some rain depending on the movement of a storm that is to form off the Southeast US coastline. High pressure will remain in control around here through the end of the work week resulting in plenty of sunshine each day along with fall-like temperatures. A storm will form at week’s end over the warm waters of the SW Atlantic and then move in a general northward direction - likely impacting the region with rain and wind on Saturday. This system should take on “tropical” characteristics and will interact act with strong high pressure to the north to generate persistent and strong onshore flow; especially, along coastal sections of the Delmarva.
