Discussion

Strong high pressure shifts offshore today and this will result in a warming trend for the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures can climb to the 80 degree mark today to go along with plenty of (hazy) sunshine and then soar to the middle and upper 80’s on Wednesday and Thursday...a few spots can top out at 90 degrees. The weather turns more unsettled again for the end of the week and the early part of the weekend with an approaching frontal system and an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms.
