Discussion

A cool front passed through the Mid-Atlantic region in the overnight hours and has ushered in a much more comfortable air mass featuring noticeably lower humidity levels. The breeze will become a factor today gusting up to 30 mph or so out of the northwest. It turns warmer on Tuesday and hot on Wednesday ahead of the next cool front. Temperatures at mid-week will climb well up into the 90’s and there can be afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. More comfortable air returns to the region later in the week on the heels of the mid-week frontal passage.
