Discussion
A warm front lifted northward through the region late yesterday and it’ll turn warmer around here for today and Wednesday. After high temperatures near 60 degrees to start the new work week, they’ll climb to the middle 70’s today and then to near 80 degrees on Wednesday which will be in record-breaking territory for some spots. The next front to arrive here will be a cold front and its passage will usher in slightly cooler air for the late week time period.
Looking ahead, the weekend may actually feature the first widespread rain event in several weeks for the Mid-Atlantic region. Strong low pressure will push up to the northwest of here and this system may draw some tropical moisture (“Rafael”) into the Mid-Atlantic region...something that would be quite beneficial to our moisture-starved part of the country.
