Discussion
It’ll be quite humid in the Mid-Atlantic region for the next few days as high pressure pushes farther offshore and the overall pattern becomes more unsettled. A trough of low pressure will slide into the area on Wednesday increasing the chance for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms and then a weak cold front can be the impetus for another round of showers and thunderstorms on Thursday. The end of the week and upcoming weekend look to be quite warm and likely rain-free with high pressure back in control.
