Discussion

Strong high pressure will control the weather around here for the remainder of the week with each day featuring plenty of sunshine and comfortably warm conditions. Temperatures should peak this afternoon near 80 degrees and then likely in the low-to-mid 80’s for the latter part of the week and upcoming weekend.

In terms of rainfall, the overall pattern will remain very dry in the Mid-Atlantic region with this high pressure system dominating the scene. In fact, tropical moisture associated with TS Francine will advance northward  later in the week after a mid-week landfall in Louisiana as a hurricane. However, with the strong high in place to our northeast, the advance of the tropical moisture field will quite likely grind to a halt somewhere over the Tennessee Valley/Midwest and it’ll not be able to make it into the northeastern part of the nation.
