Discussion
High pressure will push offshore today and that’ll open the door for a couple of frontal systems to impact the region with some rainfall from later tonight into Saturday. First, a warm front will lift through the area later today and then a cold front will follow later tomorrow. The combination of the two frontal systems will result in occasional showers here from later tonight into Saturday and there can be a thunderstorm or two mixed into the picture. High pressure to our northwest takes control of the weather for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and it’ll become increasingly warm with 85 degrees on the table for highs by the middle of next week. The next threat of showers will come at mid-week when another frontal system slides towards the eastern seaboard.
