Discussion

Unsettled weather will continue through much of tomorrow across the Mid-Atlantic region and then high pressure takes control for the mid and late week time periods. Low pressure passes nearby today and then a cold front slides across the region on Tuesday. There will be scattered showers today…perhaps a thunderstorm or two and then another round of showers and thunderstorms is likely later tonight into Tuesday…some of that rain can be heavy at times.  Temperatures during the next couple of days will be limited due to copious amounts of clouds and then full sunshine returns for the mid and late week with the high pressure building back into the area. Looking ahead, from this vantage point the Father’s Day weekend is looking cooler and quite unsettled with the chance of showers and thunderstorms on both days.
