Discussion

An upper-level low will swing across the northern Mid-Atlantic region today and it will produce some instability in the atmosphere and perhaps a few scattered showers and thunderstorms.  Later in the week, an upper-level ridge will edge eastward and temperatures should climb to 90 degrees or so by Friday afternoon.  A cold front will slide through the region on Friday night – perhaps sparking a few PM showers and thunderstorms – and temperatures will drop a bit this weekend with highs likely in the middle 80’s on both days.
